Auto-translated to English by AIOud IJsselmonde is a green neighbourhood with many elderly residents. People are friendly and helpful. It's not really safe here, for example Park de Twee Heuvelen is not lit at all and many strange people walk around. There is a lot of litter in the area and municipal bins are rarely cleaned, which means quite a lot of pests are roaming around.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt can best be described as multicultural, where most people seem to keep to themselves. If you strike up a conversation, they are surprised. The sense of community could be much better, but they are working hard on that. I quite enjoy it here. In terms of safety, I often see police patrolling, two shopping centres within walking distance, bus and tram right outside. Hygiene leaves something to be desired, especially rubbish dumped on the street. The greenery is left wild, supposedly for the insects, but it's just pure cost-cutting on green maintenance.

About Pieter Woutersestraat 30, Rotterdam
The asking price of €245,000 is about 30% below the average asking price in Groot IJsselmonde (€350,608) and also below the median of €277,250. However, the apartment is smaller than average (68 m² vs 96 m²) and has an F energy label, which means higher energy costs. Given these factors, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact, older flat in this neighbourhood.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means the home is likely to have higher heating and electricity bills compared to a more modern property. In Groot IJsselmonde, about 49% of homes have a label D or lower, so an F label is not uncommon for a building from 1958.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride.
