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 Goudestein 6, Rotterdam
The asking price of €265,000 is 23% below the neighbourhood average of €344,333, which makes it look keenly priced. However, the flat is also smaller than average (64 m² vs 88 m²). Given the lower price per square metre (€4,141 vs the neighbourhood average of €3,899), it represents good value for a buyer looking for a compact home in Zuidwijk.
The flat has energy label C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1958). In the neighbourhood, 34.8% of homes have label A, 8.7% have B, and 8.7% have C, while 47.8% have D or lower. Label C means reasonable efficiency, but you can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as a modern A-label, but not as high as an old G-label.
Public transport is limited. The nearest train station is 3.6 km away, so it's not within walking distance. One resident notes that only one bus line runs through the neighbourhood and it's always packed. For frequent train travel, you'd likely need a bike or car to reach the station.
Based on four reviews, opinions are mixed. One resident finds it quiet and normal, while another says the neighbourhood is not so nice. A third describes it as unpleasant, with shady types and aggressive beggars. The area has a high proportion of one-person households (49%) and many families with children (31%), so it's a diverse mix.
Supermarkets are close: Albert Heijn is 331 m away and PLUS is 450 m. Schools are also nearby, Vak College Zuidrand is just 79 m, and Het Praktijkcollege Zuidwijk is 145 m. There are several primary schools within a few hundred metres, making it convenient for families with children.
