Very good · 2 residents
We regularly have trouble with full rubbish bins, causing rubbish bags to be left on the street, and I see in the neighbourhood app that there are issues with stolen packages from delivery services (although I think this is due to the residential building). Furthermore, the area buzzes with students and families and the atmosphere is mostly good, though sometimes noisy.
Auto-translated to English by AIStrikingly lots of green, very well accessible from main roads and motorways, walking & cycling or by public transport/car to city+shops and also health centres in a nice location/distance from home.

About 's-Lands Werf 160, Rotterdam
The asking price of €350,000 is 28% below the neighbourhood average of €483,643, but the apartment is also 43% smaller than the average home in Struisenburg (58 m² vs 101 m²). Given the compact size and the fact that similar homes in the area sell for around €4,853 per m², the price is in line with the market, not a bargain, but not overpriced either.
The home has energy label C. That means it has reasonable insulation and double glazing, but you can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, about 33% of homes have label A and another 33% label B, so label C is slightly below the local average but still acceptable for a 1966 build.
Struisenburg has a large student population, around 37% of residents are between 15 and 25 years old. One resident describes the atmosphere as "good" despite some messiness, and the area is well connected to the city centre. It's a lively, sometimes noisy place, but many students appreciate the buzz.
The Coop is just around the corner (307 m), and the Lidl (437 m) and Aldi (533 m) are a couple of streets away. For a wider selection, Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk (603 m). You won't have to go far for daily shopping.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride. The area is also well served by trams and buses, making it easy to reach Rotterdam Centraal and other parts of the city.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The apartment is 58 m² and the plot size is not stated, so it's likely that outdoor space is limited.
