Zuidwijk, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis modern terraced house on Brekelsveld 94 in Rotterdam-Zuidwijk was built in 2018 and has an energy label A, so it's efficient and ready to move into. With 120 m² of living space and a 129 m² plot, it's a generous home in a neighbourhood where most houses are smaller and older. The asking price of €600,000 is the highest of the 21 homes currently for sale in Zuidwijk and sits 74% above the neighbourhood average of €344,333, so it's on the high side, but you're paying for size and quality. For context, terraced houses in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one stands out.
Zuidwijk is a densely populated area (over 13,800 residents) with a mix of ages and household types. About a quarter of homes are single-family, and only 21% are owner-occupied, so this home is part of a minority. Resident reviews are mixed: one calls it "Quiet" and rates it 7.88, while another says "It's passable" and notes "Nice house, not such a nice neighbourhood." A third review is harsher: "Dirty, full of shady types and homeless people who aggressively ask for money. There are plenty of supermarkets, but otherwise only one chemist, Kruidvat. And a few food shops, but almost all of them close early." Based on four reviews, the average score is 6.6. The neighbourhood Zuidwijk has a high crime rate (1,087 total offences), which may be a concern.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Dirk and Aldi are a couple of streets away. Primary school De Toermalijn is a five-minute walk, and secondary school Vak College Zuidrand is about 670 m away. The nearest park or green space is 200 m away, so you can get some fresh air easily. The municipality Rotterdam offers plenty of amenities, but within Zuidwijk itself, options are limited, for more variety, you'd head to Zuidplein.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Woonzicht Makelaars, Vastgoed Nederland, and Funda.

Auto-translated to English by AIDirty, full of shady types and homeless people who aggressively ask for money. There are plenty of supermarkets, but otherwise only one chemist, Kruidvat. And a few food shops, but almost all of them close early. As for other types of shops, Zuidplein is the nearest option, the neighbourhood doesn't have any. Accessibility is also substandard. Only one bus line runs through the neighbourhood, which is always packed. All in all, an unpleasant neighbourhood. Unpleasant people. Unpleasant surroundings. Unpleasant accessibility. Unpleasant amenities.
Auto-translated to English by AIPros Lots of green, well maintained. Pleasant living and social control is okay. Many amenities nearby. Cons Safety is not great in my opinion. Police should patrol more often. Parking is a nightmare.
