A cosy working-class neighbourhood where I live with great pleasure
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.
Auto-translated to English by AIDue to construction and demolition, a muddy mess. Also a lot of trouble with loitering youth at the sports hall. Outdoor space near the flat is neglected. 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 Melchertstraat 76, Rotterdam
With 151 m² and an A+++ energy label, the price is on the high side compared to other homes in Rotterdam. The exact property type and year of construction are not stated, so it's hard to compare directly with similar homes. The neighbourhood is green and well-regarded, which may justify the premium.
The energy label is A+++, which is the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. It's a modern standard that few homes achieve.
The nearest train station is 5.9 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, car or bus to reach it. The area is well-connected by road, but public transport to the station may require a transfer.
