Schiebroek, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1954 apartment on Kastanjesingel sits in a leafy part of Rotterdam, with a calm, residential feel. At 91 m² and with an energy label D, it's a solid, no-frills home. The asking price of €525,000 is in line with the market, the median in the neighbourhood is exactly that. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one is fairly priced for its size and age.
Schiebroek is a busy, urban area with a mix of pre-war and post-war housing. It's densely populated, over 17,000 residents, and very central, with an address density of 2568 per km². Reviews are mixed: one resident calls it "Ghetto Schiebroek", complaining about litter and pavement cycling, while another says "Schiebroek has deteriorated a lot in 5 years". A third mentions "lots of nuisance from loitering youths and mess in the canal". Based on three reviews, the average score is 7.48, but the tone is critical. For more, see the neighbourhood Schiebroek.
Daily errands are easy: a PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. For school runs, the Fatimaschool is on your doorstep, and De Wilgenstam is a five-minute walk. The municipality Rotterdam offers plenty of amenities, but the neighbourhood itself feels a bit rough around the edges according to residents.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Hooft Makelaardij and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

During my daily walk from Kastanjesingel to Rhododendronplein, I took photos and made a collage of them. To my regret, this mess has been lying there for weeks and is only getting worse. Can't we provide willing residents with a litter picker and rubbish bags and/or reward the deposit can collectors with bags of rubbish? In addition, cycling on the pavement has become common practice, even on Sundays. When I step out of the garden with my dog, I have to look left and right to avoid being run over. And this has already happened once!

Auto-translated to English by AII was born here and still live here. Unfortunately, the neighbourhood has deteriorated a lot over the years. In the past, you could talk to anyone; Schiebroek was like a village community. People considered each other. People kept their neighbourhood tidy, etc. Nowadays, many of the current residents have moved away because they no longer feel it's their neighbourhood or have moved due to old age, passed away. Especially the increase in many residents who come from elsewhere, from other districts, countries. They have no connection with the area, have their own rules, customs, etc. They don't like nature, animals, etc., they think it's dirty. While those animals have belonged here for years and should stay, in the canals, trees, etc. Some don't care about anything, throw all sorts of things on the street, just next to the container, consider no one. As a result, unfortunately, much has become run-down, also more crime. The greenery is disappearing more and more, a lot of building going on while it was known as the green neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII like the neighbourhood. There are plenty of playgrounds and a petting zoo here. I'm a single mother, so it's really nice for my little daughter.
