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 Wilbertoord 19, Rotterdam
The asking price of €265,000 is 24% below the average asking price in Groot IJsselmonde (€350,608) and also below the median of €277,250. However, the floor area of 70 m² is 27% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 96 m². So you're paying less for a smaller home. Whether it's fair depends on how much space you need.
The energy label is C. That means the home has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but it's not as efficient as modern A or B labels. You can expect moderate energy bills, but not the lowest possible. In the neighbourhood, 27.4% of homes have label C, while 49.1% have D or lower.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away. That's about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride.
