Tarwewijk, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 2018 apartment on Hellevoetstraat sits in Tarwewijk, a neighbourhood that residents say is improving year by year. With 104 m² of floor space, it is 35% larger than the local average, and the price of €450,000 is 60% above the neighbourhood average of €281,491, reflecting the new-build quality and size. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one stands out as a modern option in an area where most homes date from before 1945.
Based on three reviews, residents appreciate the location and the gradual renewal of the area. One resident says: "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." Another notes: "Good, quiet, but the municipality could pay a bit more attention, like containers with an awful lot of mess." The neighbourhood is densely populated, with many young adults and families, and a mix of cultures. The Tarwewijk neighbourhood has a high address density, so it feels lively.
For groceries, Dirk is on your doorstep, and PLUS is just around the corner. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including OBS De Globe and Basisschool Het Kompas. The Zuiderpark is a ten-minute walk away, and the city centre is a quarter of an hour by bike. The municipality of Rotterdam provides good public transport links, with a metro station nearby.

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 Hellevoetstraat 11, Rotterdam
The asking price of €450,000 is 60% above the neighbourhood average of €281,491, but this apartment is also 35% larger than the average (104 m² vs 77 m²) and was built in 2018, whereas most homes in Tarwewijk date from before 1945. So the price reflects the modern, spacious spec. Whether it is fair depends on how you value new-build quality in an area that is still improving.
The energy label is A, which means the home is very energy-efficient. You can expect low heating costs and a good level of insulation. This is a strong advantage compared to the neighbourhood, where only about 25% of homes have label A or better.
The nearest supermarket is Dirk, just 47 metres away on your doorstep. PLUS is 631 metres away, about a five-minute walk. So daily shopping is very convenient.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: OBS De Globe at 176 metres, Basisschool Het Kompas at 215 metres, and CBS Elout van Soeterwoude at 279 metres. Secondary schools are about 1.1 km away.

Residents mention that the area has improved and that its bad reputation is mostly undeserved, except for a few streets. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 982, but without context it is hard to compare. Many residents feel safe during the day.
