About Lotustuin 43, Rotterdam
The rent is 33% above the neighbourhood average of €2,286, but the apartment is also smaller than average (123 m² vs 191 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €24.80, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €15.77 per m². So it is on the high side for the area, though the home is modern and well-sized.
The energy label is B, which is an official registration (EP-Online). Label B is quite efficient, so you can expect reasonable energy costs. The label does not tell you about the specific insulation or heating system, but it is a good starting point.

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.

Auto-translated to English by AIGiven the circumstances, I like living in this neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living in this house for 16 years now, and generally have nice neighbours. They keep an eye on whether the neighbours are okay, without being intrusive. Unfortunately, I have the bad luck of not being able to live in my home temporarily due to mould problems. The neighbours are very sympathetic and give daily advice, which I can't always use, but I appreciate it. I live close to the Keizerswaard, so shops and public transport are easily accessible.

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 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 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
