Schiebroek is a spacious, green neighbourhood built mainly in the 1960s, with wide streets and plenty of trees.

One resident says: "During my daily walk from Kastanjesingel to Rhododendronplein, I took photos and made a collage of them. To my regret, this mess has been lying there for weeks and is only getting worse." Another notes: "Bad streets, gardener, cosy more my house is fine." A third mentions "lots of nuisance from loitering youths and mess in the canal and noise." Based on ten reviews, the average score is 7.48. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Schiebroek.
Daily errands are easy: a PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. For fresh bread in the morning, you are set. There are several schools within walking distance, including Openbare Montessorischool Tuinstad Schiebroek (a couple of streets away) and Wolfert Dalton secondary school (a five-minute walk). The municipality Rotterdam offers all city amenities, with a park or garden just a few minutes' walk from the flat.
At the time of writing the home is listed via several channels, including KNAL Makelaars, Funda and Pararius. The asking price is €235,000 for a 66 m² apartment with energy label G, so heating costs are something to be aware of.

During my daily walk from Kastanjesingel to Rhododendronplein, I took photos and made a collage of them. To my regret, this mess has been lying there for weeks and is only getting worse. Can't we provide willing residents with a litter picker and rubbish bags and/or reward the deposit can collectors with bags of rubbish? In addition, cycling on the pavement has become common practice, even on Sundays. When I step out of the garden with my dog, I have to look left and right to avoid being run over. And this has already happened once!

Auto-translated to English by AII was born here and still live here. Unfortunately, the neighbourhood has deteriorated a lot over the years. In the past, you could talk to anyone; Schiebroek was like a village community. People considered each other. People kept their neighbourhood tidy, etc. Nowadays, many of the current residents have moved away because they no longer feel it's their neighbourhood or have moved due to old age, passed away. Especially the increase in many residents who come from elsewhere, from other districts, countries. They have no connection with the area, have their own rules, customs, etc. They don't like nature, animals, etc., they think it's dirty. While those animals have belonged here for years and should stay, in the canals, trees, etc. Some don't care about anything, throw all sorts of things on the street, just next to the container, consider no one. As a result, unfortunately, much has become run-down, also more crime. The greenery is disappearing more and more, a lot of building going on while it was known as the green neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII like the neighbourhood. There are plenty of playgrounds and a petting zoo here. I'm a single mother, so it's really nice for my little daughter.

About Ahornlaan 23, Rotterdam
At €235,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Schiebroek and 56% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €531,660.
