I was born here in 1962, my parents lived in Nootdorp, also known as Brabantse dorp, where Zuidplein now stands. I have lived here for 62 years and still feel it is safe and familiar. Over the years I have seen many changes; more culture and diversity have been added, which greatly benefits the neighbourhood. Also, with the arrival of housing in the area, there has been more attention for the residents. Now I see the neighbourhood becoming more beautiful again because of much new construction, the renovated Zuidplein and the renewed bus station, making it easier for everyone to reach. Zuiderpark has become a beautiful place. It is wonderful to see how much has changed over all these years. As for hygiene, some improvement is needed, but this is largely up to the residents themselves; we must do this together to get a cleaner neighbourhood. Despite my concerns about hygiene, I will never leave; this is my home.
Auto-translated to English by AII was born here in 1962, over the years a lot has changed, more community centres have been added where residents can go daily so they are not alone. What I like about the neighbourhood is that you know everyone and if something is wrong, you are always helped. It would be nice if there could be more social housing, there are too few homes for young people, causing them to have to live at home longer.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe Carnissen neighbourhood is a very quiet area, but lately a lot of things have been happening, like recently a house caught fire. I happened to live right next to that house and my house almost caught fire too. I think the neighbourhood should be safer because there are also a lot of young children.
Auto-translated to English by AIRotterdam Zuid is always portrayed as some dangerous neighbourhood, but I strongly disagree. I've been living here for a year and a half now, my boyfriend even longer, and I have never felt unsafe. Yes, of course things happen, but you don't get involved. And that happens everywhere. I came from a quiet village and was afraid it would be a big transition, but now, a year and a half later, I'm very happy I live here. We have a nice balcony overlooking a long street and we recognise all the dogs in the neighbourhood because we see them out walking with their owners every day. The only downside I can think of is that there is not enough space to dispose of your waste, so a lot of rubbish and other things are left next to the bins, and then the birds tear it apart, everything ends up everywhere, and no one cleans it up.
Auto-translated to English by AIAffordable neighbourhood with decent amenities. The area could be a bit cleaner and more pleasant.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe price you pay to live here is proportionate to what you get; you don't pay much but you do live in a decent house. People here just aren't very connected to the neighbourhood, everyone lives their own life and leaves each other alone. Some streets could do with a makeover.

About Schoklandsestraat 3B, Rotterdam
Yes, it is keenly priced. The asking price is 24% below the average asking price in Carnisse (€260,453) and also below the median of €239,000. The flat is 45 m², which is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 68 m², so the price per m² is in line with the market. Given that similar flats in the area sell within about 62 days, this one is likely to attract interest.
The energy label is C. This is a reasonable rating for a flat built in 1939. In Carnisse, about 30.5% of homes have label C, while 46.3% have a lower rating (D or worse). A C label means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It is not as efficient as a modern A-rated home, but it is better than many older properties in the area.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, so it is not within walking distance. However, the neighbourhood has a high density of addresses (5,157 per km²), which typically means good bus and tram connections. The renovated bus station at Zuidplein is nearby, making it easy to reach other parts of Rotterdam. For daily commuting, a bike or bus is the most practical option.
Residents generally feel safe. One long-term resident says: "I still feel it is safe and familiar." However, another resident notes that "lately a lot of things have been happening" and would like to see more safety measures, especially for children. The total number of crimes in the area is 913, which is relatively high for a neighbourhood of this size, but many residents appreciate the community spirit and mutual support.
Yes, daily shopping is very convenient. The PLUS supermarket is just around the corner (224 m), and Aldi is a couple of streets away (280 m). For primary education, CBS De Klaver Carnisse is a five-minute walk, and CBS Elout van Soeterwoude is also close. Secondary schools are within walking distance as well. There are also several childcare options nearby.
Given the compact size (45 m²) and the price, this flat is likely to appeal to first-time buyers, singles, or couples looking for an affordable entry into the Rotterdam housing market. It could also be attractive as an investment property, as the price is below the neighbourhood average and the area has good rental demand. Families might find it too small, but the neighbourhood itself is family-friendly.
