Overschie, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1938 apartment on Willem de Zwijgerstraat sits in Overschie, a village-like pocket within Rotterdam. At 78 m² it's compact but efficient, and with an A energy label you won't be pouring money into heating. The asking price of €340,000 is keen, about 20% below the neighbourhood average of €426,107, making it a sharp option compared to other apartments in Rotterdam.
Overschie feels more like a small town than a Rotterdam district. One resident sums it up: "Overschie stirs something. You see more attention for people on a tight budget." They describe a web of volunteer initiatives, free meals for the elderly, a jumble sale, a second-hand shop, that give the area a strong social heart. The neighbourhood has a mix of ages and household types, with many families and a fair share of single-person households. It's a place where people look out for each other, based on this single review. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Overschie.
For your morning bread, PLUS is just around the corner, and Dirk and Lidl are a couple of streets away. Primary school children can walk to CBS De Regenboog within a few minutes, while Openbare Daltonschool Overschie is a five-minute walk. The nearest secondary school is further out, about 3 km away, so older kids will need a bike or bus. For more on the wider area, check out the municipality Rotterdam.

I help Bibi Fazal from the Welschenflats. She tries to give people with a small budget little groceries that residents of Overschie donate. She selflessly offers help with clothing, organises things, and sometimes cooks. Makes Christmas and Easter more fun and works together with Plus, Zeeman, the Protestant church, etc. The help is small-scale but more and more people join in. I think that's a boost. And HWD every Tuesday jumble sale and singers performing and working together with other parties that do something social for the elderly and young people. Thea and Chris cook 100 meals every week for lonely vulnerable elderly people on Tuesdays, free of charge. And recently second-hand clothing and bric-a-brac knick-knacks on Thursday in a little shop at Ameide Street, 10 to 2. So many good initiatives done through cooperation by volunteers. Top people. And the volunteers of Schoon en Heel Roelland, from the board and Leefbaar, who focus on what can be improved.
