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 Margrietstraat 16A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €325,000 is 37% below the average asking price in Hillegersberg Zuid (€512,949). However, this apartment is also smaller than average (62 m² vs 107 m²). Given the compact size and pre-war character, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a starter home in this neighbourhood.
The energy label is D. That means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be moderate to high. The building dates from 1923, so it likely has original single glazing and limited insulation. You can expect higher energy bills compared to a modern home.
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That gives you a direct connection to Rotterdam city centre and beyond.
