I've been living in this neighbourhood for 5 years, and I've felt at home here since day 1 when we moved here! It's a cosy neighbourhood with lots of dogs, cats and families with young children! There are plenty of grass patches where I can walk my dog. Close to the metro and Alexandrium. So it's very accessible! I think it's a really nice neighbourhood!!!
Auto-translated to English by AII haven't lived here very long, but the type of housing isn't that great. Otherwise, it's quite a green neighbourhood with the Kralingse Plas nearby and lots of trees.

About Verhagenstraat 22, Rotterdam
The asking price of €295,000 is 23% below the average asking price in Het Lage Land (€382,986) and also below the median of €349,000. Given the 62 m² floor area and energy label F, the price is keen compared to other homes in the neighbourhood. However, the lower energy efficiency may mean higher monthly bills.
Het Lage Land scores an 8.05 out of 10 from resident reviews. People highlight the cosy, family-friendly atmosphere, plenty of green spaces, and proximity to the Kralingse Plas. It's a very urban area (address density 3,335 per km²) but feels green with many trees and grass patches. The population is diverse, with many singles and families with young children.
The nearest supermarket is Albert Heijn at 188 m, just around the corner. Jumbo is at 421 m, a couple of streets away. There are also an AH to go (587 m) and a Coop (627 m) within easy walking distance.
Primary schools within walking distance include Hiraa (415 m) and De Kleine Prins (454 m). For secondary education, Comenius Dalton Rotterdam is at 478 m. There is also a special secondary school, Het Passer College, at 346 m.

The energy label is F, which is low on the scale. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 35.7% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not uncommon for a 1964 building.
At 62 m², this apartment is 32% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 91 m². It's a compact two-bedroom flat, typical of 1960s construction in this part of Rotterdam.
