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 AIyou can do all sorts of things there, shop and walk your dog. it can be busy at night but during the day it's usually quiet. i'm happy to live here. pollution is quite a problem, especially around overflowing bins where seagulls get at them. it would be nice if the council took more account of that.
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 Moerkerkestraat 86A, Rotterdam
The asking price is 15% below the average asking price in Tarwewijk (€281,491), which makes it a keen entry point. However, the apartment is also smaller than average (49 m² vs 77 m²). Compared to similar-sized homes in the area, the price per square metre (€4,898) is above the neighbourhood average of €3,789, so you're paying a premium for the compact size.
The home has energy label B, which is efficient. In Tarwewijk, about 20% of homes have label A or better, so this is above average for the neighbourhood. You can expect relatively low energy costs compared to older, uninsulated homes.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, the area is well served by metro and bus lines, and the city centre is a 15-minute bike ride. The neighbourhood has a very high density of addresses, indicating frequent public transport options.
Tarwewijk has a diverse population with many young adults and families. About 27% of households have children, and the average household size is 1.9. Residents describe it as improving, with a mix of cultures and a quiet atmosphere during the day, though some streets can be busy at night.
The neighbourhood recorded 982 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a densely populated area. However, residents note that the bad reputation is mostly undeserved except for a few streets, and the area is improving thanks to stricter rental laws.
