The neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.

Auto-translated to English by AIyou can do all sorts of things there, shop and walk your dog. it can be busy at night but during the day it's usually quiet. i'm happy to live here. pollution is quite a problem, especially around overflowing bins where seagulls get at them. it would be nice if the council took more account of that.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn terms of hygiene and education, it could be a lot better.
Auto-translated to English by AIDe Tarwewijk is a nice neighbourhood where people from all backgrounds live together. As a woman, I feel reasonably safe there and I love trying restaurants with food from different countries. The downside is the dirt. There is a lot of litter and bins are often overflowing.

About Bas Jungeriusstraat 128B, Rotterdam
The asking price is 33% below the average asking price in Tarwewijk (€281,491), but the flat is also 42% smaller than the average (77 m²). Given the small size and poor energy label, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact, unrenovated apartment in this area.
Label G is the least efficient rating, so heating and electricity bills will be high. The home was built in 1935 and likely has poor insulation. You should budget for significant energy costs and consider investing in upgrades to improve efficiency.
Residents give mixed feedback. One says the bad reputation is undeserved except for a few streets, while another mentions mess around bins. The total number of crimes in the area is 982, which is relatively high, but the neighbourhood is improving.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, the area is well served by bus and metro; the city centre is a quarter of an hour by bike, according to a resident.
Zuiderpark is about 0.8 km away, a ten-minute walk. The soon-to-open Nelson Mandela park is also mentioned by residents. The neighbourhood itself has limited green space, and some residents wish the municipality would improve it.
Several primary schools are within a five-minute walk, including CBS Elout van Soeterwoude (374 m), OBS De Globe (441 m), and CBS De Klaver Carnisse (445 m). Secondary education is about 1.1 km away.
