Delfshaven, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Willem Buytewechstraat sits in the lively Delfshaven area of Rotterdam, a neighbourhood with a mix of historic charm and urban energy. At 98 m² and with an energy label B, it offers a solid footprint for someone looking for a home with character. The price of €400,000 is in line with the market, given that the median in the neighbourhood is €392,000 and the average price per m² is €4,899. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one sits comfortably within the local range.
Delfshaven is a dense, urban area with a strong sense of community. Based on two reviews, residents have mixed feelings: one says it's a "decent neighbourhood but nothing special, nice to have a park nearby", noting some nuisance from youths and litter. Another calls it the "best fun neighbourhood!" and appreciates the cosy atmosphere from a nearby school and the green view. The area is very urban (address density over 5,000 per km²) and has a young population, with many single-person households. For more on the area, see the municipality of Rotterdam.
For daily shopping, the nearest Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a SPAR express a couple of streets away. There are several schools within a five-minute walk, including De Theaterhavo/vwo and Middelland College for secondary education, and Delfshaven primary school. The park is a ten-minute walk away, and there are plenty of restaurants on your doorstep. The train station is 3.3 km away, so you'd likely cycle or take a bus for longer journeys.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Ooms Makelaars.

It's all fine but nothing special. There is some nuisance from youths, and often litter on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in Coolhaven! Opposite a school, which is really nice because it always gives a cosy atmosphere and I don't really have much trouble with noise. I live in a studio and prefer neighbours and a green view; at first there was quite a lot of construction but now that has also decreased a lot.

About Willem Buytewechstraat 116B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €400,000 is close to the neighbourhood median of €392,000 and below the average of €463,319. Given the floor area of 98 m², the price per m² works out to about €4,082, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,899 per m². So it appears to be priced in line with the local market.
The energy label is B, which is quite efficient. In Delfshaven, about 29% of homes have label B, and another 22.6% have label A. A B label means heating costs should be moderate, though the home was built in 1931, so insulation may not be as modern as newer builds.
The neighbourhood recorded 559 total crimes, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. One resident mentioned "some nuisance from youths" and litter, while another said they don't have much trouble with noise. It's a dense urban area, so some street activity is normal.
There are several schools within a short walk. De Theaterhavo/vwo (secondary) is just 101 m away, and Middelland College (secondary) is 178 m. For primary education, Delfshaven school is 178 m and Harbour IBSR Bilingual is 210 m away.
The nearest Albert Heijn is 323 m away, just around the corner. A SPAR express is 645 m away, and another Albert Heijn is 716 m. So daily groceries are very convenient.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance but is a short cycle or bus ride.
The neighbourhood has a young population, with many singles and few children. Only 780 households have children out of 3,777 homes. One resident mentioned a school opposite that gives a cosy atmosphere, but it's not a typical family suburb.
