Tarwewijk, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Dordtselaan is a no-fuss, affordable entry into Rotterdam. At 24 m² it's compact, but the price reflects that: at €149,000 it's the cheapest of the 80 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, and 47% below the average asking price. If you're looking for a foothold in the city, this is a keenly priced option. For context, studios in Rotterdam tend to be smaller and more budget-friendly.
Tarwewijk is a neighbourhood on the up. 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." Another notes: "Good, quiet, but the municipality could pay a bit more attention, like containers with an awful lot of mess." Based on five reviews, the overall score is 6.83. The area is densely built (address density 5,919 per km²) and very urban, with a mix of young adults and families. The Tarwewijk neighbourhood has a lively, diverse feel.
For your morning bread, Lidl is just around the corner, and Dirk is a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: CBS De Akker and Basisschool Het Kompas. The Zuiderpark is a ten-minute walk away, and the metro and Zuidplein are a short bike ride. The municipality of Rotterdam keeps the city running, though residents note that bin collection could be better.
At the time of writing, this studio is listed via Ooms Makelaars and also appears on Funda. The energy label is G, the least efficient label, so expect higher heating costs. The home was built in 1954.

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. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood, quiet, but the municipality could pay a bit more attention, like containers with an awful lot of mess. Green areas could certainly be better, and clean up the containers.
Auto-translated to English by AIyou can do all sorts of things there, shop and walk your dog. it can be busy at night but during the day it's usually quiet. i'm happy to live here. pollution is quite a problem, especially around overflowing bins where seagulls get at them. it would be nice if the council took more account of that.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn terms of hygiene and education, it could be a lot better.
Auto-translated to English by AIDe Tarwewijk is a nice neighbourhood where people from all backgrounds live together. As a woman, I feel reasonably safe there and I love trying restaurants with food from different countries. The downside is the dirt. There is a lot of litter and bins are often overflowing.

About Dordtselaan 17B, Rotterdam
Yes, it's the cheapest home currently for sale in Tarwewijk, and 47% below the average asking price of €279,466. The floor area is 24 m², which is 68% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 75 m², so the low price reflects the compact size. It's a keen entry point into Rotterdam's housing market.
The energy label is G, the least efficient label. This means you can expect higher energy costs. The label is an official registration (EP-Online) and does not necessarily say anything about the condition of the building, it could be due to the heating system or other factors.
Residents describe it as improving, with more families moving in and a good location. One says: "The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike.

Lidl and Dirk supermarkets are within a five-minute walk. Primary schools CBS De Akker and Basisschool Het Kompas are also a short walk away. The Zuiderpark is about a ten-minute walk, and the metro station is a short bike ride. The city centre is about 15 minutes by bike.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away. The metro and bus connections are closer, with Zuidplein a short bike ride.
The price is below the neighbourhood average, and the area is improving. However, the compact size (24 m²) and energy label G mean higher running costs. It's a budget-friendly option for a first home or investment, but consider the ongoing expenses.
