Schiebroek, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Wilgenplaslaan 210 sits in a lively part of Schiebroek, a neighbourhood that feels like a village within Rotterdam. With 63 m² of living space and an E energy label, it's a no-frills home that asks for a bit of TLC. The asking price of €300,000 is 44% below the neighbourhood average of €531,660, which makes it a keen option for buyers who are willing to put in some work. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and condition.
Schiebroek is a mixed bag, according to residents. One review titled "Ghetto Schiebroek" complains about litter, pavement cycling, and a lack of municipal response: "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." Another resident says "Schiebroek has deteriorated a lot in 5 years," citing bad streets and nuisance from loitering youths. However, the neighbourhood has a strong community feel with many families and a mix of ages. The neighbourhood Schiebroek is densely populated and very urban, with over 17,000 residents and a high address density.
For daily errands, you have a Lidl just around the corner, and a PLUS a couple of streets away. Schools are close by: Melanchthon Schiebroek and Melanchthon Wilgenplaslaan are both within a five-minute walk, and primary school Stephanus is also nearby. The municipality Rotterdam offers plenty of amenities, with a park or garden just around the corner and a restaurant within walking distance. The train station is a ten-minute walk away, and the city centre is easily reachable by bike or tram.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including De Gratis Makelaar, Funda, Pararius, and Vastgoed Nederland.

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 Wilgenplaslaan 210, Rotterdam
The asking price of €300,000 is 44% below the average asking price in Schiebroek (€531,660) and also below the median of €525,000. However, the flat is smaller than average (63 m² vs 106 m²) and has an E energy label, so the lower price reflects its condition and size. Compared to similar flats in the area, it is priced keenly, but you should factor in potential renovation costs.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Schiebroek, about 38% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not uncommon for a flat built in 1966.
Schiebroek has a mix of households: about 36% are families with children, and 45% are single-person households. There are several schools within walking distance, including primary and secondary schools. However, some residents report nuisance from loitering youths and litter, so it's worth visiting at different times to get a feel.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. The neighbourhood is very urban, so public transport connections are generally good.
In the past year, sold homes in Schiebroek had an average listing time of 50 days. This suggests a balanced market where homes sell at a moderate pace. Your specific flat's time on market will depend on its condition and pricing.
You would need to check with the seller or agent for the exact amount, as it can vary depending on the building's maintenance and facilities.
