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 Den Hertigstraat 43B, Rotterdam
Yes, it's priced keenly. The average asking price in Tarwewijk is €281,491, so this flat is 20% below that. The floor area is 46 m², which is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 77 m², but the A energy label keeps running costs low. Given the price per m² of €4,880 (versus the neighbourhood average of €3,789), the low absolute price reflects the compact size.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home is well-insulated and has low heating costs. In Tarwewijk, only about 20% of homes have label A or better, so this is a strong point.
Tarwewijk has a mix of residents, with about 1,845 households with children. One resident says: 'more and more families' are moving in. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and Zuiderpark is nearby for outdoor activities. However, some residents note that green areas and bin cleanliness could be better.
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 about 15 minutes by bike, according to residents. The high density of addresses (5,919 per km²) means frequent public transport options.
The neighbourhood recorded 982 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a district of this size. However, residents say the bad reputation is 'undeserved except for a few streets'. The area is improving, and many families feel safe.
Parking is not specifically mentioned in the listing, but in a dense urban area like Tarwewijk (5,919 addresses per km²), street parking is typical. Many homes do not have private parking, so you would rely on on-street parking, which may require a permit.
The building was built in 1939, so it's pre-war. However, the A energy label suggests it has been well-modernised with insulation and efficient systems. Many homes in the neighbourhood (79%) were built before 1945, so this is typical for the area.
