Overschie, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 144 m² apartment on Parallelstraat sits in Overschie, a historic village-like part of Rotterdam. Built in 1931 and with an A energy label, it combines pre-war character with modern efficiency. At €600,000, the asking price is 41% above the neighbourhood average of €426,107, which reflects the generous floor area, 40% larger than the typical 103 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size.
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" and highlights the many volunteer initiatives: "Thea and Chris cook 100 meals every week for lonely vulnerable elderly people on Tuesdays, free of charge." The neighbourhood has 6,695 residents, with a mix of families and singles. Most homes are pre-war (82%), and 63% are owner-occupied. The neighbourhood Overschie has a strong sense of community.
For your morning bread, PLUS is just around the corner, and Dirk is a ten-minute walk away. CBS De Regenboog primary school is a couple of streets away, while Openbare Daltonschool Overschie is a five-minute walk. The municipality Rotterdam offers extensive amenities, but Overschie itself has a park within a five-minute walk and a restaurant just around the corner.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Maarten Makelaardij, Funda, Vastgoed Nederland, and Huispedia.

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.
