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.

About Kreileroord 29, Rotterdam
The asking price of €235,000 is 33% below the neighbourhood average of €350,608. However, the apartment is also smaller than average (67 m² vs 96 m²). Given the lower floor area, the price per m² works out at about €3,507, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €3,665 per m². So it's priced keenly for its size.
The energy label is D. That means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, about 49% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride. The neighbourhood is well connected by bus, but the station itself is not within easy walking distance.
