I think that neighbourhood is completely quiet

Auto-translated to English by AILively neighbourhood with everything at hand such as shops, hospital
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that so much rubbish is thrown outside the bins in the neighbourhood, and that bulky waste is not reported by residents, resulting in a lot of litter and vermin.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, Lombardijen has deteriorated significantly, especially in the last 10 years. You can see it visibly becoming impoverished, which is such a shame for such a beautiful neighbourhood that always had a reputation as a nice, clean, tidy neighbourhood. Unfortunately, both the residents and certainly the municipality of Rotterdam contribute to this. Safety is hard to find, drug nuisance, nuisance at the underground containers where all household items are just dumped. Rubbish on the street, which a number of residents try to keep up with by regularly picking it up, otherwise we see the rats and mice dancing merrily around the containers. And this is just a small impression of the waste pit of Rotterdam. The municipality must stop cutting costs and handing out fewer bonuses to the higher-ups, use money for the neighbourhoods and ensure that it becomes liveable again for the real Rotterdammers.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood but there could be improvements like more bins and more cleaning of the rubbish on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it has really gone downhill. I've lived here for almost 10 years now and see no improvement in my neighbourhood or area. In my apartment building itself it has deteriorated, not much is done about it. You can tell that Lombardij has become more of a deprived neighbourhood. I no longer enjoy living here. I am also looking for another social housing outside Rotterdam.
Auto-translated to English by AIBad. Getting worse and worse. When I first moved in it was very tidy and clean, no litter or trouble with loitering youths or people putting out bulky waste without an appointment. My apartment building is no longer tidy either. My housing association does nothing about maintenance, and the complex manager is never seen. When you call about questions regarding the complex manager, he's never there or never has time. He does the cleaning himself; it has deteriorated greatly in the apartment building.

I've lived here for a few years. There's litter on the ground. But the supermarkets are good in the neighbourhood and there's a community centre. Nice!

Auto-translated to English by AICosy. 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 AIGood living in this neighbourhood due to many shops, good neighbours and good accessibility. Too bad that parking has become paid.
Auto-translated to English by AII think that neighbourhood is completely quiet
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.

Experiences from Rotterdam
How residents experience their municipality
Het is net een klein dorpje, je kunt overal fijn heen fietsen of lopen. Er is ook openbaar vervoer wat het nog makkelijker maakt om ergens heen te gaan. Niet al te ver van het centrum af.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for a few years. There's litter on the ground. But the supermarkets are good in the neighbourhood and there's a community centre. Nice!
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood. The airport is nearby, but you don't hear a thing. Zestienhovenpark is great for walking or jogging. Many families with children live here. There is a lot of greenery and you see many birds. The best neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIed432f34g
Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I was born here so I grew up with the neighbourhood as it is now.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe facilities and the apartment itself are nice. But around the building there is a lot of rubbish on the street and junkies.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is and remains a village
