With 153 m² of living space, it's a good 30% larger than the average home in the neighbourhood.

Oud IJsselmonde feels like a little island within Rotterdam-Zuid. One resident who has lived here for ten years says: "A close-knit, safe neighbourhood, great for families. Public transport connects to both Kralingse Zoom (bus) and Centraal (tram), and amenities are a five-minute bike ride away." They also mention annual neighbourhood barbecues and a strong sense of community: "If there's something to celebrate or someone is having a tough time, you notice the neighbourhood is there for you." The area is predominantly built between 1990 and 2010, and most homes are owner-occupied. The neighbourhood Oud IJsselmonde has a mix of families and singles, with an average household size of 2.1.
Daily errands are easy: Dirk is just around the corner, and SPAR express and Albert Heijn are a couple of streets away. For primary schools, De Gouden Griffel is a five-minute walk, and Bogermanschool is also close by. The Kralingse Plas is a short bike ride away for a weekend stroll.

Very good · 1 resident
We've lived here for ten years and have always enjoyed it. Public transport connects to both Kralingse Zoom (bus) and Centraal (tram), and amenities are a five-minute bike ride away. The neighbourhood feels safe for a family with two girls who grew up here / came home late, etc. Also during their student days, coming and going from the city. There are annual neighbourhood barbecues, Halloween, Christmas, New Year's, etc. If there's something to celebrate or someone is having a tough time, you notice the neighbourhood is there for you; there's always a card in the mailbox. Furthermore, it's quiet and not noisy, lovely to sit in the garden. You don't notice that you live in 'Zuid' as it's known. Oud IJsselmonde is like a little island in that respect. There's no litter on our street and there are many trees. Unfortunately, no big park, but cross the bridge and you're at the Kralingse Plas. I would recommend our area to anyone!
