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 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 Mijnsherenlaan 83A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €225,000 is 20% below the average asking price in Tarwewijk (€281,491) and also below the median of €264,000. Given the 62 m² floor area, that works out to about €3,629 per m², which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €3,789 per m². So it is priced keenly compared to other homes currently on the market in the area.
The energy label is D. This is a mid-range label; you can expect moderate energy costs. In Tarwewijk, about 38% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area. The home was built in 1939, so it may benefit from some modernisation, but the label gives a good indication of its current efficiency.
Tarwewijk has a mix of households: about 1,845 households with children and 1,210 without. One resident notes that more families are moving in thanks to the rent law. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Basisschool Het Kompas (128 m) and CBS De Akker (196 m). The Zuiderpark is also nearby for outdoor activities.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away, so it is not within walking distance. However, the neighbourhood is very well connected by metro and bus, with Zuidplein and the city centre a quarter of an hour by bike, as one resident mentioned. The high density of addresses (5,919 per km²) means frequent services.
The neighbourhood recorded 982 total crimes in the latest data. One resident says it sometimes still has a bad reputation but that is undeserved except for a few streets. Another mentions it is quiet during the day but can be busy at night. Overall, the reviews give a mixed but improving picture.
The listing does not mention a service charge. For an apartment in a pre-war building, there is typically a monthly contribution for the homeowners' association. You would need to check the VvE documents for the exact amount.
