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 Philips Willemstraat 64, Rotterdam
The asking price of €399,000 is 22% below the average asking price in Hillegersberg Zuid, which is €512,949. However, the apartment is also smaller than average: 70 m² versus 107 m². So the price per square metre works out at about €5,700, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,059 per m². It's a keen overall price for a smaller home in a desirable area.
The apartment has energy label C. This is a decent rating, meaning the home is reasonably efficient but not top-of-the-line. Heating and electricity costs will be moderate. In the neighbourhood, about 23% of homes have label C, while 45% have a lower rating, so this home is slightly better than many older properties in the area.
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to Rotterdam city centre or other destinations convenient without needing a car.
