Overschie, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Parallelstraat sits in the heart of Overschie, a historic village-like part of Rotterdam. Built in 1929, it has a compact 75 m² floor plan and an energy label G, so heating costs will be significant. At €275,000, the asking price is 35% below the neighbourhood average of €426,107, which is keen given the smaller size and poor energy rating. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and condition.
Overschie feels more like a village than a city district. One resident describes it as a place where 'you see more attention for people on a tight budget', highlighting the many volunteer initiatives: a weekly jumble sale, free meals for the elderly, and a second-hand shop. The neighbourhood has a mix of families and older residents, with average incomes in line with the city. It's a place where people look out for each other. Read more about municipality Rotterdam.
For groceries, the PLUS is just around the corner, and Dirk is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: CBS De Regenboog is a five-minute walk, and Openbare Daltonschool Overschie is about ten minutes away. The park or public garden is a couple of streets away, perfect for a quick break. The train station is a ten-minute cycle, but buses run frequently into the city.

I help Bibi Fazal from the Welschenflats. She tries to give people with a small budget little groceries that residents of Overschie donate. She selflessly offers help with clothing, organises things, and sometimes cooks. Makes Christmas and Easter more fun and works together with Plus, Zeeman, the Protestant church, etc. The help is small-scale but more and more people join in. I think that's a boost. And HWD every Tuesday jumble sale and singers performing and working together with other parties that do something social for the elderly and young people. Thea and Chris cook 100 meals every week for lonely vulnerable elderly people on Tuesdays, free of charge. And recently second-hand clothing and bric-a-brac knick-knacks on Thursday in a little shop at Ameide Street, 10 to 2. So many good initiatives done through cooperation by volunteers. Top people. And the volunteers of Schoon en Heel Roelland, from the board and Leefbaar, who focus on what can be improved.

About Parallelstraat 13A, Rotterdam
The asking price is 35% below the average asking price in Overschie (€426,107), but the apartment is also 27% smaller than the neighbourhood average (75 m² vs 103 m²). The energy label G means high energy costs. Given the size and poor insulation, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a pre-war flat needing work.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs. In Overschie, 37.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but you should budget for significant energy bills.

There are weekly jumble sales, free meals for the elderly, and a second-hand shop. The area has a mix of families and older residents, and the park is a couple of streets away.
