Groot IJsselmonde, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Jan Dammassestraat sits in a lively part of Rotterdam where the neighbourhood feels like a village within the city. With 70 m² of living space, it's compact but well laid out. The asking price of €249,500 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €353,961, partly because the home is smaller than the typical 98 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size.

Cosy. I know many people in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIIf necessary, people help each other. It's a village in a big city. If necessary, people do grocery shopping for each other.

Auto-translated to English by AIOud IJsselmonde is a green neighbourhood with many elderly residents. People are friendly and helpful. It's not really safe here, for example Park de Twee Heuvelen is not lit at all and many strange people walk around. There is a lot of litter in the area and municipal bins are rarely cleaned, which means quite a lot of pests are roaming around.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt can best be described as multicultural, where most people seem to keep to themselves. If you strike up a conversation, they are surprised. The sense of community could be much better, but they are working hard on that. I quite enjoy it here. In terms of safety, I often see police patrolling, two shopping centres within walking distance, bus and tram right outside. Hygiene leaves something to be desired, especially rubbish dumped on the street. The greenery is left wild, supposedly for the insects, but it's just pure cost-cutting on green maintenance.

About Jan Dammassestraat 45, Rotterdam
The asking price is about 30% below the average asking price in Groot IJsselmonde (€353,961). However, this apartment is also smaller than the neighbourhood average (70 m² vs 98 m²). The price per square metre works out to around €3,564, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €3,625 per m². So it's priced keenly for its size.
The home has energy label C. That means it has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, though not as high as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy bills, but it's not the most efficient label available.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km from the home. That's about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride. The neighbourhood is well connected by public transport, with bus stops nearby.
Residents describe Groot IJsselmonde as a cosy, village-like community within a big city. One resident says: 'I know many people in the neighbourhood.' Another notes that people help each other, even doing grocery shopping for one another when needed. It's a friendly, close-knit area.
A SPAR express is 341 m away, and Dirk and Albert Heijn are about 1 km away. For schools, Auris Taalfontein (special education) is 436 m away, and Meester Baars primary school is 633 m away. There are also secondary schools within walking distance.
The apartment was built in 1961, so it's over 60 years old. Many homes in the neighbourhood (62%) were built between 1945 and 1970, so this is typical for the area. The energy label C suggests some modernisation has been done.
The listing does not mention parking. However, one resident review notes that parking has become paid in the neighbourhood. Street parking may be available but likely requires a permit or payment.
