Lived there during my student days
Auto-translated to English by AII live diagonally opposite a coffee shop. When the coffee shop is closed, dealing continues cheerfully in a parking lot that I look out onto from my apartment. I really don't find that pleasant or safe. And my porch is used as a toilet by homeless people, which is also not very pleasant. This is because close to where I live there is a Salvation Army shelter.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood, to which I gave a satisfactory rating on the aspects of community, hygiene, housing, education, green spaces, amenities and accessibility, generally offers a pleasant living environment. The community is friendly and approachable, with residents who often know each other and occasionally come together for neighbourhood activities. However, there is room for more initiatives to further promote social cohesion. Regarding hygiene, the neighbourhood is well-maintained and predominantly clean, although in some places more attention to litter and maintenance would be desirable. The housing stock is diverse and offers a good mix of apartments, terraced houses and detached houses, which are generally in good condition. House prices are acceptable, but there may be some pressure on the housing market due to the popularity of the area. Educational facilities are adequate, with sufficient primary and secondary schools in the vicinity. The quality of the schools is average to good, but parents looking for specific types of education may have to rely on surrounding neighbourhoods. Green spaces are present and provide a pleasant environment where residents can walk, exercise or relax. However, some parts of the neighbourhood would benefit from more or better maintained green areas. In terms of amenities, there are plenty of shops, supermarkets and sports facilities nearby, making daily life easy. The accessibility of the neighbourhood is also good, both by car and public transport, connecting the area to the city and other neighbourhoods. In summary, the neighbourhood is pleasant to live in, but there is room for improvement in some areas.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe centre is very dynamic and great to visit if you like to go out. Living there is different from visiting. It's not very tidy, relatively many tourists with different norms and values, and little greenery. You're surrounded by tall buildings and partying students who leave mess behind at the weekend. Furthermore, the neighbourhood is perfectly accessible thanks to good public transport and there are many shops and restaurants.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is perfect if you want to live centrally in Rotterdam while avoiding extreme crowds on the street. All amenities are within walking distance and you can reach all parts of the city by metro.
Auto-translated to English by AIStadsdriehoek is ideal to live in. Public transport, shops and supermarkets are very close by. You can do everything on foot. A downside of Stadsdriehoek is sometimes noise pollution. You know this in advance when you come to live here, but for me it's mainly about noise pollution on the Meent. Many people with faster cars often deliberately drive very hard through the street. This causes a lot of noise pollution and unrest. The municipality is already working on a campaign to keep faster cars out of the city centre. Finally, there is always something fun in the city or to watch from your balcony. In other neighbourhoods in Rotterdam you don't have that!
