The asking price is 17% below the average asking price in Katendrecht (€1,054,414) and exactly matches the median sold price in the neighbourhood. Given the large plot of 2,239 m² and the 167 m² living space, the price per m² works out at about €5,239, which is below the neighbourhood average of €6,662 per m². So it is keenly priced for what you get.

Katendrecht is a densely urban area with a strong community feel. One resident calls it 'nice and cosy, everyone knows each other and always ready for a chat.' The population is mixed: many young adults (25-45) and families with children. There are plenty of amenities within walking distance, including supermarkets, schools, and restaurants. The area has a high proportion of modern homes, but this 1903 house adds character.

The plot is 2,239 m², which is exceptionally large for a terraced house in Rotterdam. The listing does not specify how much of that is garden versus other outdoor space, but it clearly offers plenty of room for gardening, play, or even extending the house (subject to planning permission).

The home has energy label C. This is average for an older house, it means the property is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy bills. In Katendrecht, 61.4% of homes have label A+ or better, so this house is less efficient than many newer neighbours, but still acceptable for a 1903 building.

The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, which is about a 10-minute bike ride or a 30-minute walk. There are bus stops closer, but the listing does not specify which lines. For daily commuting, a bike is the most practical option.

Yes, several primary schools are within walking distance. De Schalm Katendrecht is just 131 m away, and Globetrotter Katendrecht is 311 m. Secondary schools are about 0.8 km away. The area has 198 schools within 5 km, so you have plenty of choice.

The listing does not mention parking. Given the dense urban setting (address density 4,052 per km²), street parking may be limited. Many homes in Katendrecht have on-street parking, but you may need a permit. Check with the municipality for details.

The house was built in 1903, so it is over 120 years old. The energy label C suggests some modernisation (insulation, glazing) has been done, but the listing does not specify the condition of the roof, plumbing, or electrics. A structural survey is recommended before purchase.
