A studio with water views in Overschie
This studio sits on the Zestienhovensekade in Overschie, a part of Rotterdam where the pace feels a little gentler. The home is on the third floor of a building from 1960, facing a quiet road and the water, so there is a sense of calm even though the city is close by. With 37 square metres of living space, it was compact but neatly laid out, and the last known asking price of €225,000 was in line with the market when compared with the neighbourhood average. For context, that price sat well below the average for studios in Rotterdam, which made this an interesting entry point into the market. This home has not been online since 25 September 2026.
Inside the home
The studio has two rooms, one bedroom and one bathroom, all on a single floor. The agent described it as an upper-floor apartment with a balcony, which added a little outdoor space to the compact footprint. The home had HR glazing and a central heating boiler, and it was offered as full ownership, so there was no leasehold to factor in. The living area was recorded as 37 square metres in both the BAG registration and the agent's listing, so the figures match. The energy label was F, which was on the lower end of the scale, so heating costs were likely to be a consideration.
