I was born here in 1962, my parents lived in Nootdorp, also known as Brabantse dorp, where Zuidplein now stands. I have lived here for 62 years and still feel it is safe and familiar. Over the years I have seen many changes; more culture and diversity have been added, which greatly benefits the neighbourhood. Also, with the arrival of housing in the area, there has been more attention for the residents. Now I see the neighbourhood becoming more beautiful again because of much new construction, the renovated Zuidplein and the renewed bus station, making it easier for everyone to reach. Zuiderpark has become a beautiful place. It is wonderful to see how much has changed over all these years. As for hygiene, some improvement is needed, but this is largely up to the residents themselves; we must do this together to get a cleaner neighbourhood. Despite my concerns about hygiene, I will never leave; this is my home.
Auto-translated to English by AII was born here in 1962, over the years a lot has changed, more community centres have been added where residents can go daily so they are not alone. What I like about the neighbourhood is that you know everyone and if something is wrong, you are always helped. It would be nice if there could be more social housing, there are too few homes for young people, causing them to have to live at home longer.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe Carnissen neighbourhood is a very quiet area, but lately a lot of things have been happening, like recently a house caught fire. I happened to live right next to that house and my house almost caught fire too. I think the neighbourhood should be safer because there are also a lot of young children.
Auto-translated to English by AIRotterdam Zuid is always portrayed as some dangerous neighbourhood, but I strongly disagree. I've been living here for a year and a half now, my boyfriend even longer, and I have never felt unsafe. Yes, of course things happen, but you don't get involved. And that happens everywhere. I came from a quiet village and was afraid it would be a big transition, but now, a year and a half later, I'm very happy I live here. We have a nice balcony overlooking a long street and we recognise all the dogs in the neighbourhood because we see them out walking with their owners every day. The only downside I can think of is that there is not enough space to dispose of your waste, so a lot of rubbish and other things are left next to the bins, and then the birds tear it apart, everything ends up everywhere, and no one cleans it up.
Auto-translated to English by AIAffordable neighbourhood with decent amenities. The area could be a bit cleaner and more pleasant.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe price you pay to live here is proportionate to what you get; you don't pay much but you do live in a decent house. People here just aren't very connected to the neighbourhood, everyone lives their own life and leaves each other alone. Some streets could do with a makeover.

About Fazantstraat 123B, Rotterdam
The asking price is 25% below the average asking price in Carnisse (€260,453), and also below the median of €239,000. However, the flat is smaller than average (47 m² vs 68 m²) and has an energy label G, which means higher energy costs. Given these factors, the price is in line with the market.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. In the neighbourhood, 46.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it is something to budget for.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, so it is not within walking distance. However, the area is very urban (address density 5157 per km²) and there are bus connections nearby. The renewed bus station at Zuidplein is mentioned by residents as an improvement.
Carnisse has a mix of residents, with about 26% of households having children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including De Kameleon (91 m) and Elisabeth (256 m). One resident notes that safety could be better, especially for young children, but overall the area is described as familiar and helpful.
There are currently 86 homes for sale in Carnisse, with prices ranging from €165,750 to €725,000. The average floor area is 68 m², so this flat is smaller than average. In the past year, 380 homes were sold, with an average selling time of 62 days.
