Auto-translated to English by AIOud IJsselmonde is a green neighbourhood with many elderly residents. People are friendly and helpful. It's not really safe here, for example Park de Twee Heuvelen is not lit at all and many strange people walk around. There is a lot of litter in the area and municipal bins are rarely cleaned, which means quite a lot of pests are roaming around.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt can best be described as multicultural, where most people seem to keep to themselves. If you strike up a conversation, they are surprised. The sense of community could be much better, but they are working hard on that. I quite enjoy it here. In terms of safety, I often see police patrolling, two shopping centres within walking distance, bus and tram right outside. Hygiene leaves something to be desired, especially rubbish dumped on the street. The greenery is left wild, supposedly for the insects, but it's just pure cost-cutting on green maintenance.

About Burgemeester Hazenberglaan 271, Rotterdam
The asking price of €210,000 is 40% below the neighbourhood average of €350,608, which makes it keenly priced. However, the apartment is smaller than average (66 m² vs 96 m²) and has an energy label G, which means higher energy costs. Given these factors, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact, older apartment in this area.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels: about 49% of homes are rated D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 1960s apartment. You may want to consider future improvements like insulation or double glazing.
Very convenient. A SPAR express is just around the corner (206 m), and Dirk and Albert Heijn are about a ten-minute walk away. There's also a Jumbo nearby. Residents appreciate the many shops, as one review notes: 'Good living in this neighbourhood due to many shops.'
Several schools are within walking distance. Meester Baars primary school is a five-minute walk (493 m), and Dalton Rotterdam Palmentuin secondary school is about a ten-minute walk (784 m). There's also a special education school, Auris Taalfontein, just around the corner (303 m).
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride.
The neighbourhood has a total of 1,954 reported crimes, but without a per capita figure it's hard to compare. Residents generally describe the area as cosy and helpful, with a village feel. One review mentions that parking has become paid, which some see as a downside.
At 66 m² with two bedrooms, it's compact for a family. The neighbourhood has many families (4,700 households with children) and good schools nearby. However, the apartment itself may be better suited to a couple or single person. The energy label G also means higher running costs.
The price per m² is about €3,182, which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,665 per m². Compared to other apartments in Rotterdam, this is on the lower end, reflecting the smaller size and poor energy label. It's a budget-friendly option in a well-connected area.
