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 6B, Rotterdam
At €200,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Overschie. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is €426,107, so this apartment is priced 53% below that. However, the floor area of 48 m² is also 53% smaller than the local average of 103 m².

Overschie has a strong community feel, with residents organising meals for the elderly, jumble sales, and a second-hand shop. One resident describes it as a place where "you see more attention for people on a tight budget." The area scores 7.71 out of 10 based on one review. It's a mixed neighbourhood with families, singles, and older residents, and 63% of homes are owner-occupied.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km from the apartment. That's about a 40-minute walk or a short bus ride. The area is well served by local amenities, but for train travel you'll need to factor in some extra time.
The closest supermarket is PLUS, just 467 metres away, a five-minute walk. Dirk is 848 metres away (about a ten-minute walk), and Lidl is 1.1 km. For daily groceries, you have good options within easy walking distance.
The nearest primary school is CBS De Regenboog, 315 metres away (a couple of streets). Openbare Daltonschool Overschie is 763 metres away, and Albert Schweitzer is about 1 km. For secondary education, the nearest school is 3.2 km away, so older children may need to travel further.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Overschie, 37.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's worth considering when budgeting for monthly bills.
