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 Prinses Margrietlaan 61B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €499,500 is close to the neighbourhood average of €512,949 and above the median of €450,000. Given the 105 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €4,757, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €5,059 per m². So it's priced competitively for the area.
The energy label is D, which is common for a pre-war apartment from 1927. In the neighbourhood, about 45% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical. A D label means moderate energy efficiency; heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but it's not the worst.
The nearest train station is about 900 metres away, a ten-minute walk. Residents mention good connections to the centre, though some note that public transport to surrounding neighbourhoods like Kralingen could be improved. There is no metro within walking distance, but buses are available.
The neighbourhood has a mix of families and singles, with about 44% one-person households and 32% households with children. The average household size is 2.0.

The neighbourhood has 599 total crimes reported, but residents generally feel safe. One review specifically calls it a "safe, clean neighbourhood." Another mentions occasional speed and noise pollution on main roads like Straatweg and Kleiweg, but overall it's considered a quiet area.
The building was constructed in 1927, so it's nearly a century old. The energy label D suggests it hasn't been fully modernised, but the 105 m² floor area is generous for an apartment of this era. You may want to budget for potential updates to improve energy efficiency.
