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.

Compared to other available rentals in Overschie (ranging from €2,200 to €2,900), it sits in the upper half but offers good value for the space and efficiency.
Overschie has a strong community feel with many volunteer initiatives. One resident describes it as a place where people help each other, with free meals for the elderly and a second-hand shop. The area has a mix of families and singles, and the park is just around the corner. It's less urban than central Rotterdam, with a moderate address density.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd likely need a bus or bike to reach it. The area is better suited for those who drive or cycle locally.
CBS De Regenboog primary school is just 161 m away, practically on your doorstep. Openbare Daltonschool Overschie is 639 m away, and Albert Schweitzer is 860 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is 3.2 km away, so older children may need to travel further.

Yes, A+++ is the highest possible energy label, meaning the home is extremely energy-efficient. You can expect very low heating and electricity costs. This is a significant advantage, especially with rising energy prices.
