Pendrecht, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Kortgenestraat 217 sits in a leafy part of Pendrecht, a neighbourhood with a village feel within the city. With 166 m² of living space on a 625 m² plot, it's a rare find in this area. The price of €849,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but that reflects the size and type, most homes here are smaller and terraced or flats. For context, detached houses in Rotterdam are always a niche.
Pendrecht is a large, diverse neighbourhood with plenty of greenery and a strong sense of community. One resident describes it as "a large neighbourhood where we can find everything, everything is close by." Another calls it "multicultural, lots of shops, very diverse, nice walking environment" and notes the proximity to a large park. Based on six reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.6 out of 10. The area is densely populated (over 12,000 residents) and very urban, yet the many parks and wide streets give it an open feel. Most homes were built between 1945 and 1970, and about a third are owner-occupied. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Pendrecht.

Good, it's a large neighbourhood where we can find everything, everything is close by
Auto-translated to English by AIMulticultural neighbourhood, lots of shops, very diverse, nice walking environment. Close to public transport. Lots of greenery in the area, near a large park. I don't feel unsafe in the neighbourhood, but I wouldn't go for a walk in the middle of the night. Otherwise a pleasant neighbourhood.

About Kortgenestraat 217, Rotterdam
The asking price is €849,000, which is 140% above the neighbourhood average of €354,217. However, this home is much larger (166 m² vs 87 m² average) and is a detached house, while most homes in Pendrecht are flats or terraced. The price per m² works out to about €5,114, which is above the neighbourhood average of €3,872 per m². So it's priced at a premium, but the property type and size are exceptional for the area.
Pendrecht is a large, multicultural neighbourhood with lots of shops, greenery, and a large park nearby. Residents appreciate the convenience and diversity, though some note it's not ideal for late-night walks. The area scores 7.6 out of 10 from six reviews. It's very urban with a high density of addresses, but the many parks and wide streets give it a spacious feel.
The nearest train station is 5.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bus or bike to reach it. However, the neighbourhood has good bus and tram connections for getting around Rotterdam.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern A-label home. The majority of homes in Pendrecht (43%) have labels D or lower, so this is above average for the neighbourhood.
Yes, there are several primary schools within walking distance. Basisschool over De Slinge is about 400 m away, and Kindcentrum De Hoeksteen is around 600 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.4 km away. The area has a total of 131 schools within 5 km, so plenty of choice.
