Hillegersberg Zuid, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1930s studio on Koraalstraat is a rare find in Rotterdam's leafy Hillegersberg Zuid. At 30 m² it's compact, but the price of €225,000 is the lowest of the 89 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, 56% below the average asking price of €512,949. That makes it a notably keen entry point into this sought-after area, especially compared to other studios in Rotterdam.
Hillegersberg Zuid is a safe, clean neighbourhood with a strong connection to the city centre, according to residents. One resident describes it as "a safe, clean neighbourhood with good connection to the centre", though they note that public transport links to surrounding areas like Kralingen could be better. Another says it's "quiet and not too far", adding that while there aren't large shopping streets, most things are accessible by bike. The area is densely built (3,182 addresses per km²) and mostly pre-war, with 92% of homes built before 1945. Two-thirds are owner-occupied, and the population is a mix of singles and families.

There are several primary schools within walking distance, including De Bergse Zonnebloem (a five-minute walk) and IKC De Lis. Secondary school Melanchthon Schiebroek is also nearby. The neighbourhood has a good number of restaurants and a park within a five-minute walk. Rotterdam's centre is easily reached by bike or via the train station, which is a ten-minute walk away.

At the time of writing the home is listed via Kolpa van der Hoek Makelaars Rotterdam and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

As part of Hillegersberg, this neighbourhood is a safe, clean neighbourhood with a good connection to the centre. It would be nice if the connection with surrounding neighbourhoods by public transport were improved (think of, for example, Kralingen). Additionally, there is occasional speed and noise pollution on, among others, Straatweg and Kleiweg. Also, the Kleiweg should be made safer for children because many people cross outside the zebra crossings. Moreover, this is a 50 km/h road where the zebra crossings themselves are not clear for car and bicycle drivers.

Auto-translated to English by AII generally have a good experience with my neighbourhood; not much happens in my opinion, but there are also no very large shopping areas, shopping streets, etc. I don't mind this at all because a lot is accessible by bike, but unfortunately there is no metro within walking distance for me.

About Koraalstraat 33B, Rotterdam
At €225,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Hillegersberg Zuid, 56% below the neighbourhood average of €512,949. Given the compact 30 m² floor area and energy label G, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a small studio in this area. It's a keen entry point into a popular Rotterdam neighbourhood.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. In the neighbourhood, 45% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war property. You may want to budget for energy bills accordingly.
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This gives a direct connection to Rotterdam Centraal and beyond.
