Lombardijen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Socratesstraat sits in Lombardijen, a quiet, family-oriented part of Rotterdam. At €259,500, the asking price is 37% below the neighbourhood average of €413,958, partly because the 71 m² floor area is also smaller than the local norm. That makes it a keenly priced entry into the market, especially compared with other apartments in Rotterdam.
Lombardijen is a calm, green neighbourhood with a mix of families and older residents. One resident calls it 'completely quiet', while another describes it as a 'decent neighbourhood with everything at hand such as shops, hospital, public transport, etc.' A third review mentions a 'lively neighbourhood with everything at hand'. Based on three reviews, the overall score is 6.72 out of 10. The area has a high proportion of social housing, but the neighbourhood Lombardijen is well served by local amenities.
Daily errands are easy: a Lidl and a Jumbo are both just around the corner, and a MCD is a couple of streets away. For school runs, De Catamaran primary school is a five-minute walk, and the Avicenna Lyceum secondary school is about ten minutes on foot. The municipality Rotterdam provides good public transport links, with a train station a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Van der Wiel Makelaardij & Taxaties.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that so much rubbish is thrown outside the bins in the neighbourhood, and that bulky waste is not reported by residents, resulting in a lot of litter and vermin.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, Lombardijen has deteriorated significantly, especially in the last 10 years. You can see it visibly becoming impoverished, which is such a shame for such a beautiful neighbourhood that always had a reputation as a nice, clean, tidy neighbourhood. Unfortunately, both the residents and certainly the municipality of Rotterdam contribute to this. Safety is hard to find, drug nuisance, nuisance at the underground containers where all household items are just dumped. Rubbish on the street, which a number of residents try to keep up with by regularly picking it up, otherwise we see the rats and mice dancing merrily around the containers. And this is just a small impression of the waste pit of Rotterdam. The municipality must stop cutting costs and handing out fewer bonuses to the higher-ups, use money for the neighbourhoods and ensure that it becomes liveable again for the real Rotterdammers.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood but there could be improvements like more bins and more cleaning of the rubbish on the street.
