Auto-translated to English by AII have been living in Prinsenland for a number of years now, in an apartment with my family, and I experience the neighbourhood as a pleasant and lively environment. What strikes me most is the great diversity of residents: people with different backgrounds, faiths and cultures live together here in a respectful way. This creates a dynamic atmosphere in which you always discover something new — whether it's about food, traditions or encounters on the street. The neighbourhood generally feels safe. During the day you often see people walking or children playing in the parks, and even in the evening I dare to walk the streets without worry. The community is friendly and helpful, but it would be nicer if there were a few more meeting places where neighbours could get to know each other. In terms of hygiene and maintenance, most of the neighbourhood is tidy, although there are certain spots — especially near the shopping centres — where it sometimes looks a bit messier. Housing is well organised, although you notice that some buildings are in need of renovation. I am also satisfied with the facilities: schools, supermarkets and public transport are all easily accessible. Accessibility is definitely a big plus of this district — you can be in the centre of Rotterdam in no time, and the main roads are also nearby. What I personally really appreciate is the nature in the area. The proximity of the Kralingse Bos and the quiet walking routes make Prinsenland a nice place to escape the hustle and bustle. All in all, I am very happy with this living environment. There is room for improvement, but the balance between tranquillity, accessibility and diversity makes Prinsenland a pleasant neighbourhood to live in.

The price is 55% below the neighbourhood average, but the apartment is also 41% smaller than the typical home here (72 m² vs 122 m²).

The energy label is D, which is below the neighbourhood average, most homes in Prinsenland have label A or better (over 60% are A or A+). A D label means higher energy costs for heating and electricity compared to a more efficient home. You can expect to spend more on utilities, but the lower purchase price may offset that. The exact running costs depend on usage and energy prices.
