Schiebroek, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Paltroklaan sits in a quiet part of Schiebroek, a green neighbourhood in north Rotterdam. At 57 m² it's compact, but the layout is efficient and the energy label C means reasonable running costs. The asking price of €295,000 is notably keen, 45% below the neighbourhood average, partly because of the smaller size. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and space.
Schiebroek has 17,115 residents and a mix of pre-war and post-war housing. It's a very urban area (address density 2,568 per km²) with many families and singles. Reviews are mixed: one resident describes "Ghetto Schiebroek", complaining about litter and pavement cycling, while another says "Schiebroek has deteriorated a lot in 5 years" and mentions nuisance from loitering youths. A third gives a low score of 1.75, citing noise and unresponsive municipality. Based on three reviews, the average score is 7.48, so experiences vary. The neighbourhood Schiebroek has a strong sense of community, but some residents feel let down by upkeep.
For groceries, PLUS is just around the corner, Lidl is a couple of streets away, and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. Schools are close: Melanchthon Mavo Schiebroek is on your doorstep, and primary school De Wilgenstam is a couple of minutes' walk.

During my daily walk from Kastanjesingel to Rhododendronplein, I took photos and made a collage of them. To my regret, this mess has been lying there for weeks and is only getting worse. Can't we provide willing residents with a litter picker and rubbish bags and/or reward the deposit can collectors with bags of rubbish? In addition, cycling on the pavement has become common practice, even on Sundays. When I step out of the garden with my dog, I have to look left and right to avoid being run over. And this has already happened once!

Auto-translated to English by AII was born here and still live here. Unfortunately, the neighbourhood has deteriorated a lot over the years. In the past, you could talk to anyone; Schiebroek was like a village community. People considered each other. People kept their neighbourhood tidy, etc. Nowadays, many of the current residents have moved away because they no longer feel it's their neighbourhood or have moved due to old age, passed away. Especially the increase in many residents who come from elsewhere, from other districts, countries. They have no connection with the area, have their own rules, customs, etc. They don't like nature, animals, etc., they think it's dirty. While those animals have belonged here for years and should stay, in the canals, trees, etc. Some don't care about anything, throw all sorts of things on the street, just next to the container, consider no one. As a result, unfortunately, much has become run-down, also more crime. The greenery is disappearing more and more, a lot of building going on while it was known as the green neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII like the neighbourhood. There are plenty of playgrounds and a petting zoo here. I'm a single mother, so it's really nice for my little daughter.
