Zuidwijk, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Drakenstein in Rotterdam-Zuidwijk feels spacious and modern, built in 2005 with an A energy label. With 97 m² of living space and a 133 m² plot, it's a generous home for the price. At €439,500, the asking price is 28% above the neighbourhood average of €344,333, so it's on the high side, but you're paying for a well-maintained, energy-efficient house in a city where end-of-terrace houses in Rotterdam are scarce.
Zuidwijk is a densely populated area (over 13,800 residents) with a mix of families and singles. One resident calls it "quiet" and rates it 7.88, while another is more critical: "Nice house, not such a nice neighbourhood" (7.13). A third review is blunt: "Dirty, full of shady types and homeless people who aggressively ask for money. All in all, an unpleasant neighbourhood." Based on four reviews, the average score is 6.6, so it's a place with strong opinions. The neighbourhood Zuidwijk has a high proportion of rented homes (79%) and a relatively young population, with many households with children.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and PLUS is a couple of streets away. There's a primary school, Basisschool Christophoor, a five-minute walk away, and secondary schools like Het Praktijkcollege Zuidwijk are even closer. A park is on your doorstep, and the municipality Rotterdam offers everything a big city can, though the neighbourhood itself has limited shops beyond supermarkets.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including Woonvisie NVM Makelaars, Funda and Pararius.

Auto-translated to English by AINice house, not such a nice neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIDirty, full of shady types and homeless people who aggressively ask for money. There are plenty of supermarkets, but otherwise only one chemist, Kruidvat. And a few food shops, but almost all of them close early. As for other types of shops, Zuidplein is the nearest option, the neighbourhood doesn't have any. Accessibility is also substandard. Only one bus line runs through the neighbourhood, which is always packed. All in all, an unpleasant neighbourhood. Unpleasant people. Unpleasant surroundings. Unpleasant accessibility. Unpleasant amenities.
Auto-translated to English by AIPros Lots of green, well maintained. Pleasant living and social control is okay. Many amenities nearby. Cons Safety is not great in my opinion. Police should patrol more often. Parking is a nightmare.
