Zuidwijk, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Bredevoorde is a no-nonsense home in a neighbourhood that divides opinion. With 57 m² and an energy label G, it's a fixer-upper rather than a turnkey property. The asking price of €225,000 is the cheapest of the 21 homes currently for sale in Zuidwijk and sits 35% below the neighbourhood average of €344,333, a keen price for those willing to invest in upgrades. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in condition and price.
Zuidwijk is a densely populated area (2,756 addresses per km²) with a mix of families and singles. Based on four reviews, residents give it a 6.6 out of 10. One resident calls it "quiet" and "normal". Another says: "Nice house, not such a nice neighbourhood." A third is more critical: "Dirty, full of shady types and homeless people who aggressively ask for money. There are plenty of supermarkets, but otherwise only one chemist, Kruidvat. And a few food shops, but almost all of them close early. As for other types of shops, Zuidplein is the nearest option, the neighbourhood doesn't have any. Accessibility is also substandard. Only one bus line runs through the neighbourhood, which is always packed. All in all, an unpleasant neighbourhood." The neighbourhood Zuidwijk has a high proportion of pre-1970 housing (56.5%) and nearly half the homes have an energy label D or lower.
For groceries, PLUS is just around the corner and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. The Steven Stemerdingschool primary school is on your doorstep, and secondary schools like Vak College Zuidrand and Het Praktijkcollege Zuidwijk are a couple of streets away. A park or public garden is within a few minutes' walk. The municipality Rotterdam offers extensive amenities, but within Zuidwijk itself, the range of shops is limited, for more variety, residents head to Zuidplein.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Uw Makelaar, Uw Makelaar, and Uw Makelaar BV.

About Bredevoorde 108, Rotterdam
At €225,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Zuidwijk and 35% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €344,333. However, the floor area (57 m²) is 35% smaller than the average (88 m²) and the energy label G means high heating costs. The price reflects the condition and size, so it's a budget option for buyers who can handle renovations.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high energy bills. In Zuidwijk, 47.8% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's worth factoring into your budget.
The nearest train station is 3.6 km away, so commuting by rail requires a bus or bike ride. One resident notes that only one bus line runs through the neighbourhood and it's often crowded. The area is very urban (address density 2,756 per km²), so bus stops are within walking distance, but connections are limited.
Zuidwijk has around 13,825 residents, with a mix of families (2,205 households with children) and singles (3,460 one-person households). Reviews are mixed: some find it quiet, others mention issues with cleanliness and safety. The average household size is 2.0, so it's a diverse area.
Yes, several schools are within walking distance. The Steven Stemerdingschool primary school is 141 m away, and secondary schools like Vak College Zuidrand (248 m) and Het Praktijkcollege Zuidwijk (348 m) are just around the corner. There are also childcare options nearby.
For daily groceries, PLUS is 295 m away and Albert Heijn is 605 m. There's also a Kruidvat chemist. However, residents say most food shops close early and other types of shopping require a trip to Zuidplein. The neighbourhood has limited amenities beyond supermarkets.
The asking price per m² is about €3,947 (€225,000 / 57 m²), which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €3,899 per m². But because the apartment is small, the total price is low. The average sold price in the area is €325,964, so this is a relatively affordable entry point.
