The asking price of €209,000 is 47% below the average asking price in Tussendijken (€397,820) and also below the median of €329,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (56 m² vs 95 m²) and has an energy label D. Given the lower floor area and older construction (1952), the price is in line with what you would expect for a compact starter home in this neighbourhood.
The energy label is D. This means the home is moderately efficient, not as costly to heat as a G label, but not as cheap as an A or B label. You can expect reasonable energy bills, but it is worth noting that over 30% of homes in Tussendijken have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short bus ride. The neighbourhood is well served by trams and buses, so commuting to the city centre or other parts of Rotterdam is straightforward.
Residents generally feel safe, though one review mentions it can feel dangerous to walk around in the evening. The neighbourhood has a total of 470 recorded crimes, which is relatively high for a dense urban area. However, many residents highlight the cosy, community feel and the lively atmosphere during the day.
Yes, there are several primary and secondary schools within walking distance. The Valentijnschool primary school is just 125 m away, and MEX010 secondary school is 275 m away. Other options like Openbare Basisschool Dakpark and KC De Vlinder are also close by, making the school run very convenient.
A Jumbo supermarket is just 182 m away, so you can do your daily shopping on foot. A Dirk is 288 m away, and an Aldi is 433 m away. For a wider selection, Albert Heijn and Lidl are within a 10-minute walk. You will not need a car for groceries.
Currently there are 25 homes for sale in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €170,000 to €1,000,000. The average price per square metre is €4,504, so this apartment at €3,732 per m² is slightly below the average, reflecting its smaller size and older construction.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
My neighbourhood is a nice, cosy and multicultural neighbourhood where many different people live together. There are many children, which creates a lively and cheerful atmosphere; it's always nice to see them playing outside. There is a cosy little square in the neighbourhood where many people gather with their children, especially in summer, which creates a real sense of community. Everyone knows each other a bit, and that makes living here pleasant. In the evening it can sometimes be a bit busier and livelier because of young people gathering outside, but overall the atmosphere is good and the neighbourhood feels safe and cosy. All in all, it's a nice neighbourhood with lots of life, diversity and togetherness.
Auto-translated to English by AISince I've been living here for about 6 years, I notice that it's a vibrant neighbourhood. Compared to other neighbourhoods, there is a lot of diversity. There are many amenities in the area and everything is within walking distance, which is nice.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy neighbourhood with lots of children. I just find it dangerous to walk around in the evening in this neighbourhood.

How residents experience their district
It's all fine but nothing special. There is some nuisance from youths, and often litter on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a noisy house myself and have a lot of noise from the neighbours. Which is why I'm looking for another house. But apart from that, it's a nice neighbourhood here. With many nationalities living together in one neighbourhood. There are many activities for all ages. And there are many educational locations in my neighbourhood. But in my flat, there are also people who unfortunately just throw rubbish down from their window. As a result, there are food scraps behind the houses near the storage units and on the roof of the storage units.

Auto-translated to English by AILots of shards of glass lying on the street near a senior flat where many residents depend on a mobility scooter or wheelchair and are housebound if they get a flat tyre from riding over glass. Cars parked double, especially on Franselaan, or even crazier, parked diagonally on the pavement and cycle path to unload at a Polish supermarket. Speaking to the driver doesn't help because they only speak Polish, as it's a van or truck with Polish plates that keep doing this. Loose paving stones, especially on Franselaan; if you ride over them with a mobility scooter, you're terrified. Life-threatening situation in some places on that street, also for elderly people with limited mobility, because the tiles are simply not laid properly. The flat in the senior complex is excellent, certainly for someone with limited mobility who depends on aids.

How residents experience their municipality
Het is net een klein dorpje, je kunt overal fijn heen fietsen of lopen. Er is ook openbaar vervoer wat het nog makkelijker maakt om ergens heen te gaan. Niet al te ver van het centrum af.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for a few years. There's litter on the ground. But the supermarkets are good in the neighbourhood and there's a community centre. Nice!
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood. The airport is nearby, but you don't hear a thing. Zestienhovenpark is great for walking or jogging. Many families with children live here. There is a lot of greenery and you see many birds. The best neighbourhood

Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I was born here so I grew up with the neighbourhood as it is now.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe facilities and the apartment itself are nice. But around the building there is a lot of rubbish on the street and junkies.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is and remains a village
