Cosy. I know many people in the neighbourhood.

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.

Frequently asked questions
About Kerstendijk 75, Rotterdam
Is €300,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €300,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €277,250, but below the average of €350,608. The floor area of 72 m² is 25% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 96 m², so the price per square metre is relatively high. Energy label F also means higher running costs, which may affect the overall value.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is F, which is inefficient. This means you can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label. In Groot IJsselmonde, 49.1% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's worth factoring into your budget.
How is the neighbourhood for daily life?
Groot IJsselmonde is well equipped for daily needs. There are several supermarkets within a five-minute walk, including PLUS and Lidl. Primary schools are also close by, with Kindcentrum IJsselmonde just around the corner. Residents appreciate the community spirit, describing it as a 'village in a big city' where people help each other.
What public transport is available?
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride. The high address density (2734 addresses per km²) indicates good urban connectivity.
How many rooms does the apartment have?
The listing does not state the number of rooms. Based on the floor area of 72 m², it is likely a two-bedroom apartment, but this is not confirmed in the data. You would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not provided, so it's not possible to infer outdoor space from the data. If outdoor space is important, you should ask the agent directly.
