Wielewaal, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Schulpweg in Rotterdam's Wielewaal neighbourhood has a story to tell. Built in 1896, it's a proper piece of old Rotterdam, with 59 m² of living space and a 176 m² plot. The energy label is G, so heating costs will be something to factor in. At €275,000, the price is on the high side compared to other end-of-terrace houses in Rotterdam.
The Wielewaal is a green neighbourhood on the rise, according to residents. One resident says: "A cosy working-class neighbourhood where I live with great pleasure." Another notes: "The old village feel is gone. The new buildings are nice though, and it's still a green neighbourhood. Safety is a bit of an issue." Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.3 out of 10. It's a mix of ages, with many over-65s and a fair number of single-person households. Most homes are owner-occupied, but here only 6% are owned, so renting is the norm. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Wielewaal.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Aldi and Dirk a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: Dr A V Voorthuysenschool is a five-minute walk, and Het Praktijkcollege Charlois is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Rotterdam offers plenty of parks, the nearest park or garden is on your doorstep. A train station is a bit further out, at a ten-minute drive.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Zuidstad Makelaars, Vastgoed Nederland and Funda.

Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood where everyone, whether you have a disability or not, is welcome.
Auto-translated to English by AILived in the Wielewaal for 67 years. The old village feel is gone. The new buildings are nice though, and it's still a green neighbourhood. Safety is a bit of an issue. At the sports hall, there's always a gathering of shady characters. We don't have schools or shops in the Wielewaal.

Schools are not in the Wielewaal but a few minutes by bike is sufficient. Hygiene is okay. Sense of community is there, partly due to the Wielewaal Huis.
Auto-translated to English by AICurrently a construction site. Lots of new builds. 2 fantastic 55+ flats. A pity is the hangout spot by the sports hall where dealing takes place. Squatters also cause nuisance. Unfortunately, little police presence in the neighbourhood.

About Schulpweg 226, Rotterdam
The asking price of €275,000 is on the high side compared to other homes in the Wielewaal. The house is small at 59 m² and has an energy label G, which means high heating costs. The plot is generous at 176 m², but the house itself needs work. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, it's hard to say exactly, but the price feels ambitious for a property with such a poor energy rating.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high gas and electricity bills, especially in winter. The house was built in 1896, so insulation and heating systems are likely outdated. Renovations like double glazing, roof insulation and a new boiler could improve the label, but that requires investment.
The Wielewaal is a green, working-class neighbourhood in transition. Residents appreciate the green spaces and the cosy atmosphere, but note that safety can be an issue, especially around the sports hall. The area has few shops and schools within the neighbourhood itself, but amenities are within walking distance. It's a quiet area with many older residents and single-person households.
There are several schools within walking distance. Dr A V Voorthuysenschool (special education) is about 300 metres away. For secondary education, Het Praktijkcollege Charlois is 600 metres away, and Portus Juliana is 780 metres away. There are also several special secondary schools nearby.
The nearest supermarket is Albert Heijn, about 1 km away, a ten-minute walk. Aldi and Dirk are also about 1 km away. For a larger supermarket, MCD is 1.5 km. So daily shopping is doable on foot, but a bike or car makes it easier.
The nearest train station is 5.9 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bus or bike to reach it. The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses, indicating good urban facilities.
The neighbourhood recorded 253 total crimes in the latest data. That's a relatively high number for a small area with 1,270 residents. Residents mention safety as a concern, particularly around the sports hall. It's worth being aware of this if you're considering the area.
