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 68, Rotterdam
The asking price of €249,000 is 29% below the neighbourhood average of €350,608, which makes it a keen price. However, the apartment is also 33% smaller than the average home in Groot IJsselmonde (64 m² vs 96 m²). The median price in the area is €277,250, so this listing sits below that too. It's a priced option for a smaller apartment.
The energy label is D. This means the home is moderately efficient, not the best, but not the worst either. In the neighbourhood, about 49% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but improvements like better insulation could help reduce them further.
