As part of Hillegersberg, this neighbourhood is a safe, clean neighbourhood with a good connection to the centre. It would be nice if the connection with surrounding neighbourhoods by public transport were improved (think of, for example, Kralingen). Additionally, there is occasional speed and noise pollution on, among others, Straatweg and Kleiweg. Also, the Kleiweg should be made safer for children because many people cross outside the zebra crossings. Moreover, this is a 50 km/h road where the zebra crossings themselves are not clear for car and bicycle drivers.

Auto-translated to English by AII generally have a good experience with my neighbourhood; not much happens in my opinion, but there are also no very large shopping areas, shopping streets, etc. I don't mind this at all because a lot is accessible by bike, but unfortunately there is no metro within walking distance for me.

About Kootsekade 14A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €549,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €512,949 and the median of €450,000. However, this apartment is larger (111 m²) than the average sold home (107 m²) and has an exceptional A+ energy label, which only 12% of local listings have. The price per m² (€4,946) is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €5,059, so it's priced keenly for its efficiency and size.
The energy label is A+, the highest rating. This means very low energy costs and a modern, well-insulated home despite being built in 1925. In Hillegersberg Zuid, only 11.5% of homes for sale have label A+, so this is a standout feature that saves you money and is better for the environment.
