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 37B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €679,000 is 31% below the neighbourhood average of €981,625, but the apartment is also 29% smaller than the average (106 m² vs 150 m²). The median price in the area is exactly €679,000, so it is in line with what other homes are listed for. Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood went for an average of €775,237, which suggests the price is competitive.
The apartment has energy label A, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, only 14.1% of homes have label A, and 2.8% have A+ or better. With label A, you can expect relatively low heating costs compared to older homes with lower labels.
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, so it is not within walking distance. However, residents mention that metro and tram stops are nearby, and there are always shared bikes and scooters available. The neighbourhood is very strongly urban with a high address density, so bus and tram connections are frequent.
Montessorischool Kralingen is just 85 metres away, and Vrije School Vredehof is 129 metres away. Both are primary schools. For secondary education, Vrije School Zuid-Holland for Atheneum Havo Mavo is 318 metres away. There are plenty of schools in the area, with 212 within 5 km.
Residents have mixed views. One says it is "very safe" and clean, while another mentions occasional dangerous incidents like shootings, but says they are rare and hardly anyone experiences them. Bike theft is noted as a common issue. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 521, but without context it is hard to compare.
A SPAR is 310 metres away, just around the corner. Albert Heijn and Aldi are both about 515 metres away, a five-minute walk. There is also an Ekoplaza at 584 metres. In total, there are 106 supermarkets within 5 km, so you have plenty of choice.
The building was constructed in 1926, so it is nearly a century old. However, the energy label A suggests it has been well modernised, likely with good insulation and efficient heating. In the neighbourhood, 59.3% of homes were built before 1945, so this is typical for the area.
