As part of Hillegersberg, this neighbourhood is a safe, clean neighbourhood with a good connection to the centre. It would be nice if the connection with surrounding neighbourhoods by public transport were improved (think of, for example, Kralingen). Additionally, there is occasional speed and noise pollution on, among others, Straatweg and Kleiweg. Also, the Kleiweg should be made safer for children because many people cross outside the zebra crossings. Moreover, this is a 50 km/h road where the zebra crossings themselves are not clear for car and bicycle drivers.

Auto-translated to English by AII generally have a good experience with my neighbourhood; not much happens in my opinion, but there are also no very large shopping areas, shopping streets, etc. I don't mind this at all because a lot is accessible by bike, but unfortunately there is no metro within walking distance for me.

About Ceintuurbaan 217B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €400,000 is 22% below the average asking price in Hillegersberg Zuid (€510,577). However, the floor area of 78 m² is 27% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 107 m². So while the price is lower, you're also getting less space. The median sold price in the area is €450,000, so this listing sits below that figure.
The energy label is D. This is a mid-range label; homes built in 1935 often have solid walls and single glazing, so heating costs will be moderate. In the neighbourhood, about 40% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to Rotterdam Centraal or other cities straightforward.
