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 Ruigoord 64, Rotterdam
The asking price of €240,000 is 32% below the average asking price in Groot IJsselmonde (€353,961) and also below the median of €282,250. Given the 75 m² floor area, that works out to €3,200 per m², compared to the neighbourhood average of €3,625 per m². So it's priced keenly relative to other homes in the area.
The energy label is E. This is an official registration from EP-Online. Label E is on the lower end of the scale, so you can expect higher energy costs compared to more efficient homes. It doesn't necessarily say anything about the insulation or heating system specifically, but it's a factor to consider in your monthly budget.
Groot IJsselmonde is a lively, family-oriented neighbourhood with a strong community feel. Residents appreciate the mutual help and cosy atmosphere. There are supermarkets like PLUS and Lidl within walking distance, several primary schools nearby, and a park just around the corner.

The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or any outdoor space. The plot size is not provided either, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor area unless confirmed by the agent.
One resident review notes that parking has become paid in the neighbourhood, so you may need to budget for parking costs or check with the municipality for permits.
