Schools are close too: the Rotterdam Designcollege and Marnix Gymnasium are both within a five-minute walk, and there are several primary schools nearby. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city, with restaurants, a park and a library all within walking distance.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Hooft Makelaardij and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

I live in a noisy house myself and have a lot of noise from the neighbours. Which is why I'm looking for another house. But apart from that, it's a nice neighbourhood here. With many nationalities living together in one neighbourhood. There are many activities for all ages. And there are many educational locations in my neighbourhood. But in my flat, there are also people who unfortunately just throw rubbish down from their window. As a result, there are food scraps behind the houses near the storage units and on the roof of the storage units.

About Heemraadssingel 50, Rotterdam
The asking price is 230% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€514,034). But this is no ordinary home: at 349 m², it is 214% larger than the average home in the area. The price per square metre works out at about €4,856, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,725 per m². Given the size, location on the Heemraadssingel and monumental character, the price is on the high side but reflects the home's exceptional qualities.
The home has energy label C. That is a middling score: the home is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. In the neighbourhood, 27.4% of homes have label A and 8.5% have A+, so label C is common for a pre-war house. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is a bit of a walk or a short cycle. However, the neighbourhood is very well served by trams and buses, given its high address density and central location in Rotterdam. The city centre is easily reachable by public transport.
Nieuwe Westen has a mix of households: about 27% are families with children, 19% are couples without children, and the rest are singles. There are several primary and secondary schools within walking distance, including the Marnix Gymnasium and the Rotterdam Designcollege. One resident mentions 'many activities for all ages' and 'educational locations', so it is a family-friendly area despite its urban density.
Residents have mixed views. One says it feels safe during the day but less so in the evening, mentioning 'many asylum seekers who spoil things'. Another notes noise from neighbours but otherwise finds it a nice neighbourhood. The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 1,224, which is relatively high for a neighbourhood of this size, but typical for a dense urban area.
The plot is 236 m², which is generous for a townhouse in this area. However, the listing does not specify whether there is a garden, terrace or courtyard.
