Hillegersberg Zuid, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1928 terraced house on the leafy Kleiweg in Hillegersberg Zuid combines pre-war character with an energy label A. With 178 m² of living space, it is a generous home in a sought-after part of Rotterdam. The price of €850,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but the size and energy performance set it apart.

One says: "Safe, clean neighbourhood with good connection to the centre and educational opportunities." Another notes it is "quiet and not too far." The area is densely built (3,182 addresses per km²) and very urban, yet it has a village-like feel. Most homes were built before 1945, giving the streets a distinctive character.

For your morning bread, Hoogvliet is just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, De Bergse Zonnebloem, is a five-minute walk, while secondary school Melanchthon Schiebroek is about ten minutes on foot. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the amenities you would expect from a major city, yet this pocket feels calm and residential.

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 Kleiweg 197, Rotterdam
The asking price is 66% above the neighbourhood average of €512,949, but this home is also 66% larger than the average (178 m² vs 107 m²). It also has an energy label A, which is rare in an area where 45% of homes have label D or lower. So while the price is high, the size and efficiency justify it.
Hillegersberg Zuid has a mix of households: about 32% are families with children, and 44% are singles. Residents call it safe and clean, with good schools nearby. The primary school De Bergse Zonnebloem is a five-minute walk away, and there are several playgrounds and parks within walking distance.
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. Residents note that connections to the centre are good, but public transport to surrounding neighbourhoods like Kralingen could be better. There is no metro within walking distance, but cycling is popular.
With energy label A, this home is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, only 23% of homes have label A or better, so this is a significant advantage. You can expect lower heating costs compared to older homes in the area.
The plot is 75 m², but the listing does not specify whether it includes a garden.
In the neighbourhood, sold homes took an average of 41 days to sell. This suggests a reasonably active market, but each home is unique. The combination of size, energy label and location may attract interest quickly.
