A classic terraced house on Molenvijver
This 1931 terraced house sits on a quiet street in Schiebroek, a part of Rotterdam that feels like a village within the city. With 120 m² of living space, it offers a comfortable layout for a family or a couple. The asking rent of €2,650 is on the high side compared to the average of €2,403 for rentals in the area, but the size and character of the home justify a premium. For context, terraced houses in Rotterdam typically command similar rents.
The Schiebroek neighbourhood
Schiebroek is a mixed bag, according to the 12 reviews we've collected. One resident, who gave it 8.13 out of 10, says: "It's like a small village, you can cycle or walk everywhere nicely. There's also public transport, which makes it even easier to get around. Not too far from the centre." Another, scoring 5.71, is less positive: "Little to no contact with people who live on your street. Passers-by don't say hello or it seems like you're asking for their bank account. Unfortunately, a lot of rubbish next to the containers." A third review mentions litter and cycling on the pavement. So, the neighbourhood has its charms and its challenges, and it's worth weighing both. The area is home to a mix of families and singles, with a large share of one-person households. The Schiebroek neighbourhood is part of Hillegersberg-Schiebroek, a district known for its green spaces.

Frequently asked questions
About Molenvijver 22, Rotterdam
Is €2,650 a fair rent for this terraced house?
The rent is above the average of €2,403 for rentals in Schiebroek, and well above the median of €1,850. However, this home has 120 m² of space, which is larger than the average rental of 111 m² in the area. The price per square metre works out to about €22.08, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €21.74. So, you're paying a bit more, but you're getting more space.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is an official registration, recorded in the national energy label database. A D label is in the middle of the scale, meaning the home is not the most efficient, but not the least either. You can expect moderate energy costs, but the exact amount will depend on your usage and the current energy prices.
How old is the house and what does that mean for maintenance?
The house was built in 1931. The listing does not state the condition of the property, so we can't comment on the state of the roof, pipes, or wiring. The build year is a fact, but it doesn't tell you about the maintenance history. You would need to see the home in person to judge its condition.
