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 AIGood, quiet, but the municipality could pay a bit more attention, like containers with an awful lot of mess. Green areas could certainly be better, and clean up the containers.
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 Pleinweg 43B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €180,000 is 36% below the average asking price in Tarwewijk (€281,491) and also below the median of €264,000. Given that the flat is 55 m² with energy label B, it is priced keenly compared to other homes in the neighbourhood. However, the average price per m² in the area is €3,789, which would put a 55 m² flat at around €208,000, so this listing is below that benchmark.
This flat has energy label B, which is quite efficient. In Tarwewijk, only about 20% of homes have label A or better, so label B is above average. You can expect relatively low energy costs compared to older, uninsulated homes in the area.
Public transport is excellent. The nearest metro station is just around the corner, giving you quick access to Rotterdam city centre and Zuidplein. The nearest train station is 3.3 km away, so for long-distance travel you'd likely use the metro or bus to connect.
