Oud IJsselmonde, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Piet Smitkade sits in a quiet, leafy part of Rotterdam-Zuid that feels like its own little island. With 191 m² of living space, it is considerably larger than the average home in the area. The asking price of €850,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €507,391, but the size and quality are exceptional. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, and this one stands out.
Oud IJsselmonde is a close-knit, safe neighbourhood, great for families, according to one resident who has lived here for ten years. They say: "We've lived here for ten years and have always enjoyed it. Public transport connects to both Kralingse Zoom (bus) and Centraal (tram), and amenities are a five-minute bike ride away. The neighbourhood feels safe for a family with two girls who grew up here. There are annual neighbourhood barbecues, Halloween, Christmas, New Year's, etc. If there's something to celebrate or someone is having a tough time, you notice the neighbourhood is there for you; there's always a card in the mailbox. Furthermore, it's quiet and not noisy, lovely to sit in the garden. You don't notice that you live in 'Zuid' as it's known. Oud IJsselmonde is like a little island in that respect." The neighbourhood Oud IJsselmonde has a mix of families and singles, with many homes built between 1990 and 2010.
For daily groceries, Dirk and SPAR express are just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including De Gouden Griffel and Bogermanschool. A park or garden is a couple of streets away, and the Kralingse Plas is just across the bridge for a bigger outing. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the amenities of a major city, yet this street feels calm and residential.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Prime Housing and also appears on Huispedia, so it is available through several channels.

We've lived here for ten years and have always enjoyed it. Public transport connects to both Kralingse Zoom (bus) and Centraal (tram), and amenities are a five-minute bike ride away. The neighbourhood feels safe for a family with two girls who grew up here / came home late, etc. Also during their student days, coming and going from the city. There are annual neighbourhood barbecues, Halloween, Christmas, New Year's, etc. If there's something to celebrate or someone is having a tough time, you notice the neighbourhood is there for you; there's always a card in the mailbox. Furthermore, it's quiet and not noisy, lovely to sit in the garden. You don't notice that you live in 'Zuid' as it's known. Oud IJsselmonde is like a little island in that respect. There's no litter on our street and there are many trees. Unfortunately, no big park, but cross the bridge and you're at the Kralingse Plas. I would recommend our area to anyone!
