Zuidwijk is a densely populated area (over 13,800 residents) with a very strong urban feel. The population is diverse: many families with children, but also a large share of single-person households. Based on four reviews, opinions are divided. One resident calls it "Quiet" and rates it 7.88. Another says: "Nice house, not such a nice neighbourhood." A third describes it as "Unpleasant neighbourhood", dirty, with aggressive begging and poor amenities beyond supermarkets. The neighbourhood Zuidwijk has a high crime rate (1,087 total offences), which is worth noting.
For groceries, you have a PLUS supermarket just around the corner (a couple of streets away) and an Albert Heijn within a five-minute walk. The nearest primary school, Steven Stemerdingschool, is on your doorstep, and secondary school Vak College Zuidrand is a five-minute walk. A park or public garden is just around the corner. The municipality Rotterdam offers extensive amenities, but within Zuidwijk itself, shops are limited, Zuidplein is the nearest shopping centre.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Van der Vinden Makelaars B.V., Funda, and Vastgoed Nederland.

Auto-translated to English by AINice house, not such a nice neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIDirty, 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. Unpleasant people. Unpleasant surroundings. Unpleasant accessibility. Unpleasant amenities.
Auto-translated to English by AIPros Lots of green, well maintained. Pleasant living and social control is okay. Many amenities nearby. Cons Safety is not great in my opinion. Police should patrol more often. Parking is a nightmare.

About Ellemare 27, Rotterdam
The asking price of €265,000 is 23% below the average asking price in Zuidwijk (€344,333) and also below the median of €295,000. However, the flat is smaller than average (61 m² vs 88 m²) and has an E energy label. Given that similar flats in the area sold for an average of €325,964, this price is on the low side, reflecting the smaller size and lower energy efficiency.
Zuidwijk is a very densely populated urban neighbourhood with a mix of families and singles. Reviews are mixed: some residents find it quiet, while others mention dirt, aggressive begging, and limited amenities beyond supermarkets. The crime rate is relatively high (1,087 offences). Public transport is limited, only one bus line runs through the area, and the nearest train station is 3.6 km away.
The flat has an energy label E, which means it is not very efficient. In the neighbourhood, 47.8% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is common for the area. Expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. The listing does not mention insulation or double glazing, so you would need to check those details with the agent.
The nearest supermarket is PLUS, just a couple of streets away (about 500 m), and Albert Heijn is within a five-minute walk. For other shops, you would need to go to Zuidplein. Primary school Steven Stemerdingschool is on your doorstep, and secondary school Vak College Zuidrand is a five-minute walk. There are several other schools within a kilometre.
Public transport is limited. Only one bus line runs through the neighbourhood, and it is often crowded. The nearest train station is 3.6 km away, so a car or bike is more practical for longer journeys. The area is very urban, with a high density of addresses, but connectivity could be better.
This is an apartment (flat) built in 1962, with a floor area of 61 m². The listing does not specify the number of rooms, but given the size, it is likely a two-bedroom flat. The layout is not described, so you would need to view the property to see the exact arrangement.
