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 Quadenoord 135, Rotterdam
The asking price of €245,000 is 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 (70 m² vs 96 m²) and has an E energy label, which explains the lower price. Similar apartments in the neighbourhood sold for an average of €330,633, but those tend to be larger. Given the size and energy label, the price seems in line with the market.
The apartment has energy label E. This means it is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label. In Groot IJsselmonde, about 49% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area. You may want to consider energy-saving measures to improve comfort and reduce bills.
