It is a very safe neighbourhood. It is clean and beautiful with its nature and houses. The metro and tram are nearby and from there you can get anywhere really. There are also always enough shared bikes/scooters in the area. For children, there are plenty of schools and sports facilities in the neighbourhood. A playground is not very close, only a big one on the Oudedijk. But there are enough small parks to play in, or on school playgrounds. There are plenty of nice little cafes and ice cream shops.

Auto-translated to English by AII grew up in Kralingen so from my perspective it's a very nice, cosy neighbourhood, easily accessible by e.g. metro or tram. Sometimes there are dangerous incidents, like shootings, but that's almost never and hardly anyone actually experiences them. There are often people trying to steal bikes. The hygiene is fine, it's not a dirty neighbourhood... but there is a lot of litter, especially plastic. I went to school here myself, so I think the education is very good; most people get an average or higher secondary school recommendation, so there's nothing to complain about. A pity is that there aren't that many facilities; of course there's the Kralingse Plas and the forest, but compared to e.g. Hillegersberg-Schiebroek it's a bit less entertaining because there are many cafes and shops there, and in Kralingen I miss that. But it remains my hometown!
