About Burgemeester de Villeneuvesingel 41, Rotterdam
The asking price is 19% above the neighbourhood average of €965,175, but this is a corner house with a large 299 m² plot, which commands a premium. The average price per m² in the area is €6,352, so at €8,273/m² this home is above that benchmark. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra garden space and corner position.
Energy label D is typical for a pre-war house of this era. It means the home is not as efficient as modern builds, so heating costs will be higher than a label A or B home. In the neighbourhood, 43.6% of homes have label D or lower, so it is not unusual. You can expect to spend more on energy than in a newer home.
The nearest train station is 3 km away, which is about a 10-minute drive or a 30-minute walk. For daily commuting, you would likely cycle or take a bus to the station.
