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 Van Wijngaardenlaan 46, Rotterdam
The asking price is 30% below the average asking price in Groot IJsselmonde (€350,608) and also below the median of €277,250. However, the floor area of 64 m² is 33% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 96 m². Given the energy label D and the 1958 construction year, the price appears keen for a buyer looking for a compact home in a well-connected area.
Groot IJsselmonde scores 7.3 out of 10 from 15 reviews. Residents call it a 'village within a big city', cosy and supportive, with people helping each other with groceries when needed. It's a densely populated area (2,734 addresses per km²) with a mix of families and singles. Parking has become paid, which some residents mention as a downside.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride.
SPAR express is 225 m away, just around the corner. Dirk and Albert Heijn are about 600,750 m away, a five-minute walk. Primary schools Auris Taalfontein (144 m) and Meester Baars (417 m) are within easy walking distance, and there is a secondary school (Dalton Rotterdam Palmentuin) at 598 m.
The energy label is D. This is a common label for homes built around 1958. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not as energy-saving as modern standards. You can expect moderate heating costs, though exact amounts depend on usage and insulation improvements.
The asking price per m² is roughly €3,828 (€245,000 / 64 m²). The neighbourhood average is €3,665 per m², so this apartment is priced slightly above average per square metre. However, the total price is lower because the home is smaller than typical in the area.
