Overschie feels like its own small town, with a strong community spirit. One resident describes it as a place where "you see more attention for people on a tight budget", pointing to local initiatives like free meals for the elderly and a second-hand shop run by volunteers. The neighbourhood has 6,695 residents, with a mix of families and singles, and a high proportion of pre-war housing (82% built before 1945). It's a place where people look out for each other, as the single review (scoring 7.71) highlights. Read more about municipality Rotterdam to see how Overschie fits into the bigger picture.

There are two primary schools within easy reach: CBS De Regenboog is a couple of streets away, and Openbare Daltonschool Overschie is a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood also has a park or public garden within a five-minute walk, giving you green space without going far. Overschie's village-like character means most daily needs are close by, while Rotterdam's centre is a short trip away.

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 65B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €250,000 is 41% below the average neighbourhood asking price of €426,107, and also well under the median of €369,000. Given the 90 m² floor area, that works out to about €2,778 per m², compared to the neighbourhood average of €4,283 per m². So it's priced on the low side for Overschie, which makes it an interesting option for buyers looking for value.
The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a pre-war home. In Overschie, about 38% of homes have a label D or lower, so C is relatively efficient for the area. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's always worth checking the exact consumption figures with the seller.
PLUS supermarket is just 542 metres away, about a five-minute walk, and Dirk is under a kilometre away. There's also a Lidl within 1.2 km. For daily groceries, you're well covered without needing a car. The neighbourhood also has a restaurant within 800 metres and a library 1.2 km away.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. CBS De Regenboog is 273 metres away, Openbare Daltonschool Overschie is 871 metres, and Albert Schweitzer is 1.1 km. For secondary education, the nearest school is 3.2 km away, so you may need to travel a bit further for that.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance for most people. However, the area has a high density of addresses (1,858 per km²), which typically means good bus connections. You'd likely rely on a bus or bike to reach the station or other parts of Rotterdam.
