Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that so much rubbish is thrown outside the bins in the neighbourhood, and that bulky waste is not reported by residents, resulting in a lot of litter and vermin.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, Lombardijen has deteriorated significantly, especially in the last 10 years. You can see it visibly becoming impoverished, which is such a shame for such a beautiful neighbourhood that always had a reputation as a nice, clean, tidy neighbourhood. Unfortunately, both the residents and certainly the municipality of Rotterdam contribute to this. Safety is hard to find, drug nuisance, nuisance at the underground containers where all household items are just dumped. Rubbish on the street, which a number of residents try to keep up with by regularly picking it up, otherwise we see the rats and mice dancing merrily around the containers. And this is just a small impression of the waste pit of Rotterdam. The municipality must stop cutting costs and handing out fewer bonuses to the higher-ups, use money for the neighbourhoods and ensure that it becomes liveable again for the real Rotterdammers.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood but there could be improvements like more bins and more cleaning of the rubbish on the street.

About Anthony Tijkenstraat 2, Rotterdam
The asking price of €249,500 is 40% below the average asking price in Lombardijen (€413,958) and also below the median of €299,250. However, this apartment is smaller than average at 70 m², so the price per m² works out to about €3,564, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €3,688 per m². Given the energy label A and the quiet location, the price appears competitive.
The energy label is A, which means the home is very energy-efficient. You can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes. In Lombardijen, only about 16% of homes have label A or better, so this is a strong point.
The nearest train station is 1.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The high address density (2,655 per km²) means many stops are within walking distance.
Lidl is just 199 m away and Jumbo is 224 m, so daily groceries are on your doorstep. There is also a hospital within reach, as residents note. A park is 300 m away, and restaurants and a library are within a few hundred metres.
Lombardijen is described by residents as 'completely quiet' and 'decent' with everything at hand. It has a mix of families and singles, and the area is very urban with a high density of addresses. The crime rate is 995 total offences, which is moderate for a city district.
In Lombardijen, sold homes had an average listing time of 56 days. This suggests a balanced market where homes sell within a couple of months, not extremely fast but not slow either.
