It is a very safe neighbourhood. It is clean and beautiful with its nature and houses. The metro and tram are nearby and from there you can get anywhere really. There are also always enough shared bikes/scooters in the area. For children, there are plenty of schools and sports facilities in the neighbourhood. A playground is not very close, only a big one on the Oudedijk. But there are enough small parks to play in, or on school playgrounds. There are plenty of nice little cafes and ice cream shops.
Auto-translated to English by AINo one here is social, always immediately aggressive and there is not enough green, everything is rubbish
Auto-translated to English by AII grew up in Kralingen so from my perspective it's a very nice, cosy neighbourhood, easily accessible by e.g. metro or tram. Sometimes there are dangerous incidents, like shootings, but that's almost never and hardly anyone actually experiences them. There are often people trying to steal bikes. The hygiene is fine, it's not a dirty neighbourhood... but there is a lot of litter, especially plastic. I went to school here myself, so I think the education is very good; most people get an average or higher secondary school recommendation, so there's nothing to complain about. A pity is that there aren't that many facilities; of course there's the Kralingse Plas and the forest, but compared to e.g. Hillegersberg-Schiebroek it's a bit less entertaining because there are many cafes and shops there, and in Kralingen I miss that. But it remains my hometown!

About Waterloostraat 123A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €350,000 is 64% below the average asking price in Kralingen Oost (€962,898). However, this apartment is also much smaller than the neighbourhood average (52 m² vs 148 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €6,731, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €6,180 per m². So while the total price is low, you are paying a premium for the smaller size.
The energy label is D. This is an official registration from EP-Online. Label D is in the middle of the scale, meaning the home is not particularly efficient or inefficient. Expect moderate energy costs, but the label alone doesn't tell you exactly what the costs will be, it depends on your usage and the specific heating system.
