Schiebroek, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Wilgenlei 96B is a classic 1960s flat with an energy label C. At €300,000, the asking price is 44% below the neighbourhood average of €531,660, partly because the 75 m² floor area is 29% smaller than the typical 106 m² in Schiebroek. That makes it a keen entry point into the Rotterdam market, especially compared to other apartments in Rotterdam.
Schiebroek is a densely populated part of Rotterdam (over 17,000 residents) with a very high urban density. The reviews are mixed: one resident describes it as "Ghetto Schiebroek," complaining about litter, pavement cycling, and noise. Another says "Schiebroek has deteriorated a lot in 5 years," while a third reports "lots of nuisance from loitering youths and mess in the canal." Based on ten reviews, the average score is 7.48, so experiences vary. The neighbourhood has a mix of families and singles, with many homes built between 1945 and 1970. For more context, see the neighbourhood Schiebroek page.
For groceries, you have a Lidl just around the corner and a PLUS a couple of streets away, with an Albert Heijn a ten-minute walk. Schools are close: primary school Isra is on your doorstep, and secondary schools Melanchthon Wilgenplaslaan and Melanchthon Mavo Schiebroek are just a few minutes' walk. The municipality Rotterdam provides all urban amenities, with a park or garden within a five-minute walk and a restaurant just around the corner.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Woonzicht Makelaars, Vastgoed Nederland, and Funda.

During my daily walk from Kastanjesingel to Rhododendronplein, I took photos and made a collage of them. To my regret, this mess has been lying there for weeks and is only getting worse. Can't we provide willing residents with a litter picker and rubbish bags and/or reward the deposit can collectors with bags of rubbish? In addition, cycling on the pavement has become common practice, even on Sundays. When I step out of the garden with my dog, I have to look left and right to avoid being run over. And this has already happened once!

Auto-translated to English by AII was born here and still live here. Unfortunately, the neighbourhood has deteriorated a lot over the years. In the past, you could talk to anyone; Schiebroek was like a village community. People considered each other. People kept their neighbourhood tidy, etc. Nowadays, many of the current residents have moved away because they no longer feel it's their neighbourhood or have moved due to old age, passed away. Especially the increase in many residents who come from elsewhere, from other districts, countries. They have no connection with the area, have their own rules, customs, etc. They don't like nature, animals, etc., they think it's dirty. While those animals have belonged here for years and should stay, in the canals, trees, etc. Some don't care about anything, throw all sorts of things on the street, just next to the container, consider no one. As a result, unfortunately, much has become run-down, also more crime. The greenery is disappearing more and more, a lot of building going on while it was known as the green neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII like the neighbourhood. There are plenty of playgrounds and a petting zoo here. I'm a single mother, so it's really nice for my little daughter.

About Wilgenlei 96B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €300,000 is 44% below the average asking price in Schiebroek (€531,660), but the apartment is also smaller than average (75 m² vs 106 m²). The price per square metre works out at €4,000, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,932. Given the smaller size and the mixed neighbourhood reviews, the price seems keen but realistic.
The apartment has energy label C. This is a mid-range label, meaning the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs. In Schiebroek, about 31% of homes have label C, while 38% have a lower label (D or worse), so this is fairly typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away. That is about a 30-minute walk or a short bus ride.
Resident reviews are mixed. One says: "During my daily walk... this mess has been lying there for weeks... cycling on the pavement has become common practice." Another reports "lots of nuisance from loitering youths and mess in the canal." However, the average review score is 7.48 out of 10, so many residents are satisfied. The neighbourhood has a high population density and a mix of ages.
With 75 m² and two bedrooms, it is compact for a family. The neighbourhood has many families (about 29% of households have children) and good schools nearby, including primary school Isra just 231 m away. However, the apartment itself may feel tight for more than two people.
In the most recent data, Schiebroek recorded 1,061 total crimes. That is a relatively high number for a neighbourhood of this size, but it includes a wide range of offences. The resident reviews mention nuisance from loitering and mess, which aligns with the figures.
