Hillegersberg Zuid is a safe, clean neighbourhood with a strong community feel. Based on three resident reviews, one person describes it as "a safe, clean neighbourhood with a good connection to the centre." Another notes it's "quiet and not too far" from the city. The area is popular with families and professionals alike, around a third of households have children, and the streets are lined with pre-war architecture and mature trees. The neighbourhood Hillegersberg Zuid has a very high density of addresses, so you're never far from a shop or café, yet it retains a calm, suburban atmosphere.
For your morning bread or last-minute dinner, Hoogvliet is just around the corner, and Lidl and Dirk are a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Tarcisius and De Fontein, making the school run a doddle. The neighbourhood is well served by public transport: Rotterdam Central is a ten-minute walk, and bus stops on the main roads connect you to the rest of the city. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the cultural and leisure amenities you'd expect from a major city, yet this pocket of Hillegersberg feels like a village within the city.

As part of Hillegersberg, this neighbourhood is a safe, clean neighbourhood with a good connection to the centre. It would be nice if the connection with surrounding neighbourhoods by public transport were improved (think of, for example, Kralingen). Additionally, there is occasional speed and noise pollution on, among others, Straatweg and Kleiweg. Also, the Kleiweg should be made safer for children because many people cross outside the zebra crossings. Moreover, this is a 50 km/h road where the zebra crossings themselves are not clear for car and bicycle drivers.

Auto-translated to English by AII generally have a good experience with my neighbourhood; not much happens in my opinion, but there are also no very large shopping areas, shopping streets, etc. I don't mind this at all because a lot is accessible by bike, but unfortunately there is no metro within walking distance for me.
