Zuidwijk, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1962 apartment in Zuidwijk, Rotterdam, is priced at €250,000, 27% below the neighbourhood average of €344,333. That makes it a keen entry point into the market, especially for a flat of this size. For context, the average price per m² in the area is €3,899, so this home offers good value. If you're looking at apartments in Rotterdam, this one stands out for its price.
Zuidwijk is a densely populated area (over 13,800 residents) with a mix of families and singles. One resident describes it as "quiet" and "normal", while another says it's "passable", "nice house, not such a nice neighbourhood". A third review is more critical: "Dirty, full of shady types and homeless people who aggressively ask for money. There are plenty of supermarkets, but otherwise only one chemist, Kruidvat. And a few food shops, but almost all of them close early. As for other types of shops, Zuidplein is the nearest option, the neighbourhood doesn't have any. Accessibility is also substandard. Only one bus line runs through the neighbourhood, which is always packed. All in all, an unpleasant neighbourhood." Based on four reviews, the average score is 6.6. The neighbourhood Zuidwijk has a high crime rate (1,087 incidents) and a low homeownership rate (21%), with many flats.
For your morning bread run, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and PLUS is a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: De Toermalijn and Steven Stemerdingschool. Secondary schools are also close, with Vak College Zuidrand. A park or garden is on your doorstep, and a GP is a five-minute walk away. The municipality Rotterdam offers extensive amenities, though the neighbourhood itself has limited shops beyond supermarkets.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including NEXO Group B.V. and Nexo Group B.V. The energy label is E, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home.

About Ruigenhoek 7, Rotterdam
Yes, it's priced 27% below the neighbourhood average of €344,333, making it a keen deal. The average price per m² in Zuidwijk is €3,899, and this flat works out at about €3,571 per m². However, the energy label E means higher running costs, so factor that in.
Zuidwijk is a densely populated area with a mix of families and singles. Reviews are mixed: some find it quiet and normal, others mention dirt and unpleasant characters. The crime rate is high (1,087 incidents), and only 21% of homes are owner-occupied. Amenities are limited to supermarkets and a few shops; for more, you'd go to Zuidplein.
The nearest train station is 3.6 km away, so you'll need a bus or bike to reach it. Only one bus line runs through the neighbourhood, which residents say is often crowded.
There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: De Toermalijn (215 m) and Steven Stemerdingschool (246 m). Secondary schools like Vak College Zuidrand (263 m) and Het Praktijkcollege Zuidwijk (482 m) are also close.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood (34.8% of homes have label A). This means higher heating costs, so budget accordingly. The flat was built in 1962, so insulation may be limited.
The listing does not specify the number of bedrooms, but with 70 m², it likely has two bedrooms.
