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 AIGood, quiet, but the municipality could pay a bit more attention, like containers with an awful lot of mess. Green areas could certainly be better, and clean up the containers.
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 52B, Rotterdam
The rent of €1,800 is 41% above the Tarwewijk average of €1,276 and even exceeds the highest listed rent in the neighbourhood (€1,750). So it's on the high side. However, the apartment is 84 m², which is spacious, and the location is convenient for shops and public transport. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the size and the improving neighbourhood.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and you can expect high heating costs. The building dates from 1939, so it likely has single glazing and an old heating system. Factor in a significant energy bill.
