We regularly have trouble with full rubbish bins, causing rubbish bags to be left on the street, and I see in the neighbourhood app that there are issues with stolen packages from delivery services (although I think this is due to the residential building). Furthermore, the area buzzes with students and families and the atmosphere is mostly good, though sometimes noisy.
Auto-translated to English by AIStrikingly lots of green, very well accessible from main roads and motorways, walking & cycling or by public transport/car to city+shops and also health centres in a nice location/distance from home.

About Oostmaaslaan 293, Rotterdam
The asking price is 22% below the neighbourhood average of €483,643, which makes it look keen. However, the apartment is also 33% smaller than the average home in Struisenburg (68 m² vs 101 m²). So you're paying less for less space, but the price per square metre (€5,515) is actually above the neighbourhood average of €4,853. It's a market-rate price for a compact flat in a central area.
The home has energy label C. That's a decent middle-of-the-road rating, not super efficient but not a draughty old building either. In Struisenburg, about 17% of homes have label C, while 33% have label B and another 33% have label A. So this flat is in the middle of the pack. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but not the lowest possible.
