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 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 Wevershoekstraat 47B, Rotterdam
The asking price is 33% below the average asking price in Tarwewijk (€281,491) and also below the median of €264,000. However, the flat is smaller than average (46 m² vs 77 m²) and has an F energy label. Given these factors, the price is in line with the market for a compact, older apartment.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well-insulated and heating costs will be relatively high. In Tarwewijk, 37.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so an F label is not uncommon for a 1951 build.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away, so train travel requires a bus or bike. However, the neighbourhood is very urban with a high density of addresses, and metro stops are within reach. The city centre is about 15 minutes by bike, as residents note.
Tarwewijk has a mix of households: about 30% have children, and 27% are single-person. Residents mention that the area is improving and becoming more family-friendly. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like CBS De Akker and Theresiaschool.
In the past year, 328 homes were sold in Tarwewijk, with an average time on market of 70 days. This suggests a reasonably active market, though not extremely fast.
Yes, Zuiderpark is about 0.8 km away (a ten-minute walk), and the future Nelson Mandela park is also mentioned by residents. The neighbourhood itself has limited green areas, but the park provides a good escape.
