Overschie, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Burgemeester Baumannlaan sits in the heart of Overschie, a village-like pocket within Rotterdam. At 65 m² it's compact but well laid out, with an E energy label meaning heating costs will be noticeable. The asking price of €275,000 is 35% below the neighbourhood average of €426,107, which makes it a keen entry point into Rotterdam's market. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size.
Overschie feels more like a small town than a city district. One resident describes it as a place where "you see more attention for people on a tight budget", pointing to volunteer-run initiatives like a weekly jumble sale, free meals for the elderly, and a second-hand shop. The neighbourhood has a mix of families and older residents, with average incomes around the city norm. It's a place where people look out for each other, as the single review (scoring 7.7 out of 10) suggests. Overschie is one of Rotterdam's greener, quieter corners.
For your morning bread, Dirk and PLUS are both just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Openbare Daltonschool Overschie and Albert Schweitzer. The nearest park is on your doorstep, and a GP is a ten-minute walk. The train station is a bit further out, about 3.3 km, so a bike or car is handy for longer trips. Municipality Rotterdam offers plenty of urban amenities within reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including @Work Makelaardij, Funda and Vastgoed Nederland. The agent has provided full details on the property.

I help Bibi Fazal from the Welschenflats. She tries to give people with a small budget little groceries that residents of Overschie donate. She selflessly offers help with clothing, organises things, and sometimes cooks. Makes Christmas and Easter more fun and works together with Plus, Zeeman, the Protestant church, etc. The help is small-scale but more and more people join in. I think that's a boost. And HWD every Tuesday jumble sale and singers performing and working together with other parties that do something social for the elderly and young people. Thea and Chris cook 100 meals every week for lonely vulnerable elderly people on Tuesdays, free of charge. And recently second-hand clothing and bric-a-brac knick-knacks on Thursday in a little shop at Ameide Street, 10 to 2. So many good initiatives done through cooperation by volunteers. Top people. And the volunteers of Schoon en Heel Roelland, from the board and Leefbaar, who focus on what can be improved.

About Burgemeester Baumannlaan 101B, Rotterdam
The asking price is 35% below the average asking price in Overschie (€426,107), and also below the median of €369,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (65 m² vs 103 m²) and has an E energy label. Given that similar homes in the area sell for around €402,000 on average, this price looks keen for a compact flat in need of some energy investment.
Overschie has a strong community feel with many volunteer initiatives. One resident highlights the help for people on a tight budget, including free meals and a jumble sale. The area has a mix of families and older residents, and is less dense than central Rotterdam. There are parks nearby and basic amenities within walking distance.
Dirk and PLUS are both about 200 metres away, so you can walk there in a couple of minutes. Lidl is about 440 metres, a five-minute walk. For a larger Albert Heijn, it's about 1.3 km.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Openbare Daltonschool Overschie (176 m), Albert Schweitzer (376 m), and CBS Het Podium (569 m). For secondary education, the nearest is about 3.2 km away.
Energy label E means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home. In Overschie, about 38% of homes have a label D or lower, so it's not unusual for the area. Improvements like insulation or double glazing could help reduce costs.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance. A bike or car is more practical for commuting.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor space. The nearest park is 400 metres away.
