Homes for sale in Feijenoord, Rotterdam

What does a home in Feijenoord cost?

The owner-occupied market in Feijenoord is remarkably small: only 21% of the more than 36,700 homes are owner-occupied, while 79% are rental properties (of which 59% are owned by housing corporations). This limited supply makes the market competitive. The average WOZ value is €289,000, which is noticeably below the Rotterdam average of €320,000. However, actual transaction prices tell a different story: in the past twelve months, 582 homes were sold for an average purchase price of €446,660. The range is enormous, from €109,761 for a compact apartment to €1,975,000 for the most exclusive addresses, such as on Kop van Zuid. The average living area is 96 m².

Living in Feijenoord: multicultural city district with stark contrasts

Feijenoord is not a district you can sum up in one sentence. The area south of the Nieuwe Maas includes neighbourhoods that differ enormously, from trendy Katendrecht with its restaurants along the Delistraat to the quiet garden village Vreewijk with its 1920s architecture. Residents on Buurtje.nl give the district a 6.6 out of 10 based on 29 reviews. Accessibility scores highest (7.5), and rightly so: with metro stations such as Rijnhaven, Maashaven and Zuidplein, tram lines along the Beijerlandselaan and bus connections via the Putselaan, you can be at Rotterdam Central within ten minutes. The A16 and A29 are quickly accessible via the Vaanweg and the Stadionviaduct.

Residents' opinions vary widely. Resident Nigel gives a 9.5 and writes: "Everyone knows each other and always up for a chat." Jelle Jager calls it "very cosy, quiet and a beautiful environment" (8.8). But there are also critical voices. Another resident warns of high crime rates and an unsafe feeling after dark, with a score of just 3.2. Safety scores an average of 7.2, but that figure masks large differences per neighbourhood. In Afrikaanderwijk and Hillesluis, residents more often report nuisance, while Noordereiland and Kop van Zuid-Entrepot are experienced as quiet. Read all experiences on the district page of Feijenoord to compare per neighbourhood.

In terms of amenities, there is plenty in the area. On the Beijerlandselaan and the Groene Hilledijk you will find supermarkets such as Lidl, Albert Heijn and various Turkish and Moroccan shops. Zuiderpark, one of the largest city parks in Rotterdam, lies on the southern edge and offers sports fields, playgrounds and an open-air theatre. Schools are available at all levels: primary schools such as De Catamaran and obs Het Landje, and Zuiderpark College for secondary education. The score for education (7.2) is therefore one of the better ones. The municipality of Rotterdam is actively investing in the southern districts through the National Programme Rotterdam Zuid, which is visible in new construction, school improvements and the refurbishment of public spaces around Maashaven.

Is Feijenoord right for you as a buyer?

With an average disposable income of €32,200 and a labour participation rate of 56%, this is not a district of dual-income earners with high budgets. Yet there is something to be found for different target groups. First-time buyers can purchase an apartment in Bloemhof or Hillesluis from around €110,000, though you should budget for 2% transfer tax and approximately €1,500 in notary fees. Upsizers and families more often focus on single-family homes in Vreewijk or the larger apartments on Noordereiland. Be honest with yourself: in some parts of Feijenoord, nuisance is a real issue, so visit the neighbourhood at different times. Is buying in Feijenoord still a step too far?
