Zuidwijk, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Scherpenhoek sits in a part of Rotterdam that feels a world away from the city centre. Built in 2001 with energy label A, it's efficient and modern. At €325,000 for 84 m², the price is in line with the market, similar apartments in Rotterdam average €3,899 per m².
Zuidwijk is a mixed area with a strong urban feel, very high density and plenty of activity. One resident calls it "quiet" and rates it 7.88, while another says it's "passable" with a "nice house, not such a nice neighbourhood". A third review is harsher: "Dirty, full of shady types and homeless people who aggressively ask for money." Based on four reviews, opinions vary widely. The neighbourhood Zuidwijk has a young population, with many households with children and a high proportion of single-person homes.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and PLUS is a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: De Toermalijn primary school is a couple of streets away, and Vak College Zuidrand secondary school is on your doorstep. The municipality Rotterdam offers extensive amenities, though residents note that Zuidplein is the nearest shopping centre for non-food items.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Zuidstad Makelaars.

Auto-translated to English by AINice house, not such a nice neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIDirty, 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. Unpleasant people. Unpleasant surroundings. Unpleasant accessibility. Unpleasant amenities.
Auto-translated to English by AIPros Lots of green, well maintained. Pleasant living and social control is okay. Many amenities nearby. Cons Safety is not great in my opinion. Police should patrol more often. Parking is a nightmare.
