A rare find on the edge of Rotterdam
This detached house on the Charloisse Lagedijk sits in Charlois Zuidrand, a quiet corner of Rotterdam where the city meets the polder. The asking price of €214,000 is keen compared with the neighbourhood average, which is a striking difference for a home of this type. The property is one of the detached houses in Rotterdam currently on the market, and its price stands out in a street where most homes go for far more.
The home itself
Built in 1966, this single-storey detached house has three rooms, two bedrooms and one bathroom, with a living area of 55 m² according to the agent. The BAG registration, however, lists a living area of 240 m², a difference that is not explained in the listing. The plot is generous at 5,480 m², which is unusual for a home of this size. The energy label is D, so heating costs will be moderate but not minimal. The home is listed as new build, which is notable given the construction year.
Life in Charlois Zuidrand
The Charlois Zuidrand neighbourhood is small, with around 630 residents, and has a mix of ages, from young families to older residents. Residents of the district of Charlois give it an average score of 6.93 out of 10, based on 35 reviews. One resident says: "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." Another notes: "The facilities and the apartment itself are nice. But around the building there is a lot of rubbish on the street and junkies." The reviews reflect a mixed picture, with praise for the location and concerns about street cleanliness.
Amenities and transport
For daily needs, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Dirk and Aldi a couple of streets away. Primary school De Toermalijn is a short walk, and there are several secondary schools within a ten-minute cycle. The GP practice Schouten and the pharmacy service point Portland are both about a ten-minute walk, while Ikazia Hospital is a short drive. Bus stop Driemanssteeweg is on your doorstep, with lines 82, 183 and 283, and Rotterdam Lombardijen station is about four kilometres away. The municipality of Rotterdam offers the wider city's amenities, with the centre reachable by bike in about fifteen minutes.

Frequently asked questions
About Charloisse Lagedijk Ong, Rotterdam
Why is the asking price so much lower than the WOZ value?
The asking price of €214,000 is 84% below the WOZ value of €1,344,000, which was set on 1 January 2024. The WOZ value is a municipal valuation, not the current market value, and it can differ from the asking price for various reasons. The price is also 78% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €989,250, which suggests the seller is pricing it to attract interest.
What is the living area of this home?
The agent lists the living area as 55 m², while the BAG registration records 240 m². This is a significant discrepancy, and the listing does not explain why the two sources differ. The plot, however, is clearly large at 5,480 m², which is far above the neighbourhood average. If you are considering this home, it is worth clarifying the living area with the agent, as it affects the price per square metre and the overall value.
How has the WOZ value developed over the past five years?
Between 2019 and 2024, the WOZ value of this property rose by 124%, from €599,000 to €1,344,000. The increase was steady in the early years, then accelerated sharply from 2022 onwards. This reflects a broader trend in the area, where property values have climbed significantly. The current asking price of €214,000 is well below the latest WOZ value, which is unusual and may indicate a pricing strategy or other factors not detailed in the listing.
What are the flood and foundation risks for this address?
The address has a medium foundation risk indication, based on area-level data, and the soil is clay. Pluvial flooding risk is elevated, and current flood risk is medium, though this is expected to decrease by 2050. These are indications at the area level, not an inspection of this specific home. Road traffic noise is above the norm at 59 dB, while rail and aircraft noise are below the norm. The data comes from public sources such as the Atlas Leefomgeving and Klimaateffectatlas.
What amenities are within walking distance?
Albert Heijn is about 900 metres away, so groceries are a ten-minute walk. Primary school De Toermalijn is 760 metres away, and the GP practice Schouten is about a kilometre. The pharmacy service point Portland is also nearby. For public transport, bus stop Driemanssteeweg is 273 metres away, with lines 82, 183 and 283. Rotterdam Lombardijen station is about four kilometres away, and the city centre is reachable by bike in about fifteen minutes, according to a resident.
What is the neighbourhood like?
Charlois Zuidrand is a small neighbourhood with around 630 residents, and it has a mix of ages, from children to older people. Residents of the district of Charlois give it an average score of 6.93 out of 10, based on 35 reviews. One resident says the neighbourhood is improving and has a fantastic location, with the Zuiderpark around the corner. Another mentions rubbish on the streets and some nuisance. The reviews reflect a mixed picture, with both positive and negative points.
Why are there no property details in this listing?
The listing does not state the number of rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, or the floor area. As a result, it is not possible to assess the home's layout or size from the listing alone. The agent does mention that it is a detached house built in 1966, with an energy label D. The absence of details is not explained in the listing, so you would need to contact the agent for more information.
