Hillegersberg Zuid, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis rental apartment on Philips Willemstraat sits in the leafy Hillegersberg Zuid neighbourhood, a stone's throw from the Hillegersbergse Plas.

With a rent of €2,150, it's on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €1,923, but the larger floor area partly explains that. For context, this is one of 19 rental apartments currently available in the area, and you can see how it compares to other apartments in Rotterdam.

The area is popular with families and professionals alike, with a mix of pre-war and modern housing. The neighbourhood Hillegersberg Zuid has a high density of addresses (3,182 per km²), reflecting its urban character, yet it feels green thanks to nearby parks and the lake.

As part of Hillegersberg, this neighbourhood is a safe, clean neighbourhood with a good connection to the centre. It would be nice if the connection with surrounding neighbourhoods by public transport were improved (think of, for example, Kralingen). Additionally, there is occasional speed and noise pollution on, among others, Straatweg and Kleiweg. Also, the Kleiweg should be made safer for children because many people cross outside the zebra crossings. Moreover, this is a 50 km/h road where the zebra crossings themselves are not clear for car and bicycle drivers.

Auto-translated to English by AII generally have a good experience with my neighbourhood; not much happens in my opinion, but there are also no very large shopping areas, shopping streets, etc. I don't mind this at all because a lot is accessible by bike, but unfortunately there is no metro within walking distance for me.
