Very good · 2 residents
We regularly have trouble with full rubbish bins, causing rubbish bags to be left on the street, and I see in the neighbourhood app that there are issues with stolen packages from delivery services (although I think this is due to the residential building). Furthermore, the area buzzes with students and families and the atmosphere is mostly good, though sometimes noisy.

About Buizenwerf 87, Rotterdam
The asking price is 52% below the average asking price in Struisenburg (€483,643), but the home is also much smaller than average (28 m² vs 101 m²). Given the compact size and energy label F, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a small studio in this neighbourhood.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In Struisenburg, most homes for sale have a better label (33% A, 33% B). You can expect higher energy bills for heating and hot water compared to a home with a modern label.
Struisenburg is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. It's popular with students and young people, over a third of residents are aged 15-25. Reviews mention a lively atmosphere, some messiness with rubbish, and good access to green spaces and transport.
Supermarkets like SPAR, Albert Heijn and Aldi are within a ten-minute walk. The nearest primary school, Nieuwe Park Rozenburgschool, is about 320 metres away. There are also several other schools within walking distance.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle.
It's a compact studio at a relatively low price for Rotterdam, making it accessible for a first buyer. However, the energy label F means higher running costs, and the size is very limited. It's a practical starter home in a lively neighbourhood.
