Delfshaven, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 75 m² apartment on the Willem Buytewechstraat dates from 1927 and has an energy label B. At €275,000, the asking price is 40% below the neighbourhood average of €461,878, partly because the floor area is 30% smaller than the local norm. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size.
Delfshaven is a dense urban area with a very high address density (5,123 per km²). Based on two reviews, opinions are split: one resident calls it a "decent neighbourhood but nothing special, nice to have a park nearby", noting some nuisance from youths and litter. Another says it's the "best fun neighbourhood!" and appreciates the cosy atmosphere from a nearby school and the green view. The neighbourhood has many young adults (42% aged 25-45) and a high share of single-person households. Delfshaven is part of the larger municipality Rotterdam.
For groceries, you have a Jumbo just around the corner and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. There are several schools within a five-minute walk: Harbour IBSR Bilingual, Middelland College, and Delfshaven primary school. A park or public garden is a five-minute walk away, and a restaurant is on your doorstep.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Baljon makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it is available through several channels.

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 217A02, Rotterdam
The asking price is 40% below the average asking price in Delfshaven (€461,878), but the apartment is also 30% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 107 m². Given the energy label B and the 1927 construction, the price is on the low side compared to other listings in the area, but the smaller size explains much of the difference.
Delfshaven recorded 559 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a dense urban area. One resident mentions "some nuisance from youths" and "often litter on the street", while another says they don't have much trouble with noise. It's a mixed picture, typical of a very central Rotterdam neighbourhood.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance for a daily commute. You would likely need a tram, bus, or bike to reach Rotterdam Central or other stations.
The apartment has energy label B, which is above average for the neighbourhood (31.3% of homes have label B). This means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, so heating costs should be moderate compared to older homes with lower labels.
Yes, there are several schools within a short walk. Harbour IBSR Bilingual (primary) is 220 m away, Delfshaven primary school is 447 m, and Middelland College (secondary) is also 447 m. The area has many educational options within a 5 km radius.
The neighbourhood has a high proportion of young adults (42% aged 25-45) and many single-person households (2,570 out of 4,240 households). Only 18% of homes are owner-occupied, so this apartment is part of a minority of owner-occupied properties in the area.
