As part of Hillegersberg, this neighbourhood is a safe, clean neighbourhood with a good connection to the centre. It would be nice if the connection with surrounding neighbourhoods by public transport were improved (think of, for example, Kralingen). Additionally, there is occasional speed and noise pollution on, among others, Straatweg and Kleiweg. Also, the Kleiweg should be made safer for children because many people cross outside the zebra crossings. Moreover, this is a 50 km/h road where the zebra crossings themselves are not clear for car and bicycle drivers.

Auto-translated to English by AII generally have a good experience with my neighbourhood; not much happens in my opinion, but there are also no very large shopping areas, shopping streets, etc. I don't mind this at all because a lot is accessible by bike, but unfortunately there is no metro within walking distance for me.

About Malvastraat 5A, Rotterdam
The asking price is 22% below the average asking price in Hillegersberg Zuid (€512,949) and also below the median of €450,000. Given the 88 m² floor area and the G energy label, the price is keen for the neighbourhood, though the low energy rating means higher running costs.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs to expect. In the neighbourhood, 44.8% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war apartment, but you should budget for significant energy bills.
Hillegersberg Zuid has a mix of families and singles, with 1,230 households with children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like De Bergse Zonnebloem (193 m) and IKC De Lis (468 m). Residents describe it as safe and clean, though some note traffic noise on main roads.
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. Residents mention that a metro is not within walking distance, but the area is well-connected by bike to the city centre.
The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €5,059, while this apartment works out at about €4,540 per m². That is below the local average, reflecting the G label and the need for modernisation. For comparison, the average sold price in the area is €437,145.
The apartment was built in 1930, typical of the pre-war housing stock in Hillegersberg Zuid (91.8% of homes date from before 1945). The energy label G suggests original single glazing and poor insulation. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should expect some updating.
