Everyone feels at home and you can go anywhere.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for about four years now and I think it's a nice area to live in. Actually, everything you need is in the neighbourhood: supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops, train and tram station. A bit more green would certainly be an addition, and it's also a shame that the metro is a bit of a bike ride away. Lately, I do notice more litter on the streets and more confused/addicted people on the streets, which gives a less safe feeling. I don't get harassed very often myself, but I wouldn't let children play/walk around here alone. In terms of green space, I would appreciate a nice park like in Blijdorp, but if extra trees are planted next to the busy roads, I think that would already help a lot.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe Listkwartier is a beautiful part of Rotterdam North, where most streets were not bombed. Gorgeous streets and houses, and the neighbourhood is truly up-and-coming. Lots of new hip spots, cosy eateries and good restaurants. In terms of safety, it's improving rapidly. Every now and then (too) fast-driving antisocial cars, but safety is getting better and better.

About Rodenrijselaan 5B, Rotterdam
The asking price is 146% above the neighbourhood average of €507,862, and it's the most expensive of the 85 homes currently for sale in Liskwartier. However, this is a 99 m² apartment in a pre-war building with an energy label G, so the price reflects its size and character rather than efficiency. Comparable sales in the area averaged €466,693 over the past period, so this is significantly higher.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 31.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is on the less efficient end. It's worth noting that the building dates from 1912, so improvements like insulation or double glazing may be needed.
Residents have mixed views. One says safety is 'improving rapidly' and that the area is 'up-and-coming', while another notes more litter and 'confused/addicted people on the streets', giving a less safe feeling. The same resident wouldn't let children play alone but doesn't get harassed often. Overall, the neighbourhood score is 7.72, and crime figures show 506 total offences in the area.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. There are tram stops in the neighbourhood, and residents mention a tram station within walking distance. The metro is a bit further, requiring a bike ride.
The nearest park or garden is 0.4 km away, just around the corner. One resident wishes for more green space, like a park similar to Blijdorp, but appreciates that extra trees could help. The neighbourhood has a park within a five-minute walk.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Imelda (212 m), Juliana van Stolbergschool (220 m), and IKC De Lis (396 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.1 km away. The area has 167 schools within 5 km, so plenty of options.
