Tarwewijk, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 93 m² apartment on Wolphaertsbocht sits in a neighbourhood that's clearly on the up. Built in 1934, it has an energy label D, not the most efficient, but typical for its era. The asking price of €300,000 is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €281,491, reflecting the size and the improving area. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one is keenly positioned given its floor space.
Residents give Tarwewijk a 6.83 out of 10 based on five reviews. One says: "The neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families." Another notes: "Good, quiet, but the municipality could pay a bit more attention, like containers with an awful lot of mess." The area is densely populated (over 12,000 residents) and very urban, with a mix of young adults and families. Most homes are pre-war, and about a fifth are owner-occupied. The neighbourhood Tarwewijk is well-connected and close to parks.

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 AIGood, quiet, but the municipality could pay a bit more attention, like containers with an awful lot of mess. Green areas could certainly be better, and clean up the containers.
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 Wolphaertsbocht 393B02, Rotterdam
The asking price of €300,000 is slightly above the average sale price in Tarwewijk (€281,491) and the median (€264,000). However, this apartment is larger than average (93 m² vs 77 m²), so the price per m² (€3,226) is actually below the neighbourhood average of €3,789. That makes it a reasonable asking price for the size.
The energy label is D, which is common for a 1934 apartment. It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels: about 37% are D or lower, while 25% are A or better.
Tarwewijk has a growing number of families, as residents note. About 30% of households have children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance. The area is improving, with fewer slumlords and more owner-occupied homes. However, some streets still have a reputation, and waste management can be an issue.
The nearest metro station is a couple of streets away, and the city centre is a 15-minute bike ride. The train station is 3.3 km away, so for longer journeys you'd likely use the metro or bike to the station.
The neighbourhood recorded 982 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a dense urban area. However, residents say the bad reputation is mostly undeserved except for a few streets. The area is improving, and many families are moving in.
The listing does not mention a service charge. For an apartment in a pre-war building, there is typically a monthly contribution for the homeowners' association, but the amount is not stated here.
