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.

About Oostmaaslaan 672, Rotterdam
The asking price of €1,250,000 is well above the neighbourhood average of €483,643 and the median of €407,500. It's the most expensive home currently for sale in Struisenburg. However, the apartment is also much larger than average (210 m² vs 101 m²), so the price per square metre (around €5,952) is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,853. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the specific features of this home.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect lower energy bills compared to older homes with labels D or lower, but it's not as efficient as an A or A+ label. In Struisenburg, about 33% of homes have label A and another 33% have label B, so this is in line with the better-performing homes in the area.
Struisenburg has a mix of students and families, but it's not a typical family neighbourhood, only about 270 households have children, and the average household size is 1.3.

If you're looking for a quiet, family-oriented area, this might not be the first choice.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. The area is well-connected by bus and tram, and the city centre is easily accessible by bike or public transport. Residents also note good access to main roads and motorways for car travel.
