I've been living in this neighbourhood for 5 years, and I've felt at home here since day 1 when we moved here! It's a cosy neighbourhood with lots of dogs, cats and families with young children! There are plenty of grass patches where I can walk my dog. Close to the metro and Alexandrium. So it's very accessible! I think it's a really nice neighbourhood!!!
Auto-translated to English by AII haven't lived here very long, but the type of housing isn't that great. Otherwise, it's quite a green neighbourhood with the Kralingse Plas nearby and lots of trees.

About Jaap van der Hoekplaats 222, Rotterdam
The asking price is €450,000, which is 19% above the average asking price in Het Lage Land (€379,366). However, this is a brand-new apartment (2025) with an A+++ energy label, while much of the neighbourhood's stock is older. The floor area (65 m²) is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 88 m², so the price per square metre is higher. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value a new build and low energy costs.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, so you can expect very low heating and electricity costs. Only 17% of homes for sale in the neighbourhood have label A+ or better, so this is a standout feature.
Het Lage Land is described by residents as cosy and family-friendly, with many families with young children. There are plenty of grass patches and parks, including the nearby Kralingse Plas. Schools are within walking distance: primary school Hiraa at 234 m and secondary schools like Comenius Dalton Rotterdam at 360 m.
