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!
