Zuidwijk, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 70 m² apartment on Langenhorst is a no-nonsense home in a neighbourhood that divides opinion. At €225,000, it's the cheapest of the 21 homes currently for sale in Zuidwijk and sits 35% below the average asking price of €344,333 in the area, a keen price for a starter home. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one is priced to sell.
Zuidwijk is a densely populated part of Rotterdam (over 13,800 residents) with a very high urbanity score. Resident reviews are mixed: one calls it "Quiet" and rates it 7.88, while another says "It's passable, nice house, not such a nice neighbourhood." A third review is blunt: "Unpleasant neighbourhood. Dirty, full of shady types and homeless people who aggressively ask for money." The same resident notes that amenities are limited to supermarkets and a Kruidvat, with most other shops closing early. Based on four reviews, the average score is 6.6. The neighbourhood Zuidwijk has a high proportion of flats (75%) and a relatively young population, with many households with children.
For daily shopping, the PLUS supermarket is on your doorstep. A couple of streets away you'll find an Albert Heijn and a SPAR express. Primary schools are just around the corner: Basisschool Christophoor is 282 metres away, and Steven Stemerdingschool is 363 metres. For secondary education, Het Praktijkcollege Zuidwijk and Vak College Zuidrand are within a five-minute walk. The municipality Rotterdam offers extensive public transport, though the nearest train station is 3.6 km away, a bus ride rather than a walk.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including Zuidstad Makelaars. The energy label is G, which means high heating costs are to be expected, something to factor into your budget.

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 Langenhorst 293, Rotterdam
At €225,000, this is the cheapest of the 21 homes currently for sale in Zuidwijk and 35% below the average asking price of €344,333. Given the 70 m² floor area and energy label G, the price is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €3,899 per m². However, the low energy rating means higher monthly costs, so the total cost of ownership may be closer to that of a more efficient home.
Zuidwijk is a very urban area with over 13,800 residents and a high density of addresses. Resident reviews are mixed: some find it quiet, others mention issues with cleanliness and safety. The neighbourhood has a young population, many families, and a mix of cultures. Amenities are basic, supermarkets and a chemist, but Zuidplein shopping centre is nearby for more variety.
The PLUS supermarket is just 89 metres away, literally on your doorstep. Other supermarkets within walking distance include Albert Heijn at 749 metres and SPAR express at 822 metres. For daily groceries, you won't have to go far.
Primary schools are close: Basisschool Christophoor is 282 metres away, and Steven Stemerdingschool is 363 metres. For secondary education, Het Praktijkcollege Zuidwijk (415 m) and Vak College Zuidrand (426 m) are within a five-minute walk. There are also several other schools within a short distance.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and heating costs are likely to be high. The home was built in 1961 and has not been upgraded to modern standards. In the neighbourhood, 47.8% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's worth budgeting for higher energy bills.
The neighbourhood is served by bus lines, but the nearest train station is 3.6 km away. One resident notes that only one bus line runs through the area and it is often crowded. For train connections, you would need to take a bus to Rotterdam Centraal or other stations.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not specified, so it is likely that this apartment does not have private outdoor space. There is a park or public garden 0.2 km away for recreation.
