It is a very safe neighbourhood. It is clean and beautiful with its nature and houses. The metro and tram are nearby and from there you can get anywhere really. There are also always enough shared bikes/scooters in the area. For children, there are plenty of schools and sports facilities in the neighbourhood. A playground is not very close, only a big one on the Oudedijk. But there are enough small parks to play in, or on school playgrounds. There are plenty of nice little cafes and ice cream shops.

Auto-translated to English by AII grew up in Kralingen so from my perspective it's a very nice, cosy neighbourhood, easily accessible by e.g. metro or tram. Sometimes there are dangerous incidents, like shootings, but that's almost never and hardly anyone actually experiences them. There are often people trying to steal bikes. The hygiene is fine, it's not a dirty neighbourhood... but there is a lot of litter, especially plastic. I went to school here myself, so I think the education is very good; most people get an average or higher secondary school recommendation, so there's nothing to complain about. A pity is that there aren't that many facilities; of course there's the Kralingse Plas and the forest, but compared to e.g. Hillegersberg-Schiebroek it's a bit less entertaining because there are many cafes and shops there, and in Kralingen I miss that. But it remains my hometown!

About Kortekade 107A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €420,000 is 57% below the neighbourhood average of €981,625 and well under the median of €679,000. However, the apartment is smaller (83 m² vs. 150 m² average) and has a poor energy label G. Given the lower floor area and high energy costs, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact, pre-war apartment needing energy upgrades.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and likely high heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 38% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 1935 building. You should budget for significant energy bills and consider improvements like insulation or double glazing.
Residents have mixed views. One says it's "very safe" and clean, while another mentions "dangerous incidents, like shootings, but that's almost never and hardly anyone actually experiences them." A third review criticises social behaviour. The total number of crimes in the area is 521, but without context it's hard to compare. Overall, it's a typical urban neighbourhood with some issues but generally considered safe by most.
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, so not within walking distance for daily use. However, residents mention metro and tram stops nearby, and there are shared bikes and scooters available.
Yes, several primary schools are within walking distance: Montessorischool Kralingen (124 m), Vrije School Vredehof (182 m), and De Kralingsche School (304 m). For secondary education, Vrije School Zuid-Holland (378 m) and Libanon Lyceum (528 m) are close. One resident who attended school locally says the education is "very good" and most pupils get average or higher secondary school recommendations.
The neighbourhood has many single-person households (3,165 out of 5,070 households) and a young population, with 2,510 residents aged 15-25 and 2,135 aged 25-45. Only 930 households have children. This suggests a mix of students, young professionals, and some families. The average household size is 1.7, indicating many live alone or as couples.
At 83 m², this apartment is 45% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 150 m². The average price per m² is €6,246, so this home's price per m² works out to about €5,060, which is below average. The compact size is typical for a pre-war apartment in this part of Rotterdam.
