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 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 Katendrechtse Lagedijk 145A, Rotterdam
The asking price is 20% below the average asking price in Tarwewijk (€281,491) and also below the median of €264,000. Given the 70 m² floor area and energy label G, the price is on the low side for the neighbourhood, which may reflect the home's condition or the need for energy improvements.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and heating costs are likely to be high.
