The Oud IJsselmonde neighbourhood
Oud IJsselmonde feels like a little island within Rotterdam, according to the one resident review. It's described as a close-knit, safe neighbourhood, great for families, with annual barbecues and a strong sense of community. The resident notes: 'If there's something to celebrate or someone is having a tough time, you notice the neighbourhood is there for you.'

Frequently asked questions
About Zuiddiepje 68, Rotterdam
Was €250,000 a fair price for this apartment?
At €250,000, this was the cheapest home at the time for sale in Oud IJsselmonde and 51% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €507,391. However, the floor area of 64 m² is 45% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 117 m². The price per square metre worked out at about €3,906, which was below the neighbourhood average of €4,396 per m². So it was priced keenly for its size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label A and 21.7% have label B, so this is in line with the local stock.
How is the public transport connection?
The nearest train station is 3.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance but a short bike ride or bus trip. The resident review mentions bus connections to Kralingse Zoom and a tram to Centraal. For daily commuting, you'd likely rely on a bike or bus.
What are the neighbours like?
Based on one review, the neighbourhood is close-knit and safe, with many families. The resident says there are annual neighbourhood barbecues and a strong sense of community, people look out for each other. It's quiet and not noisy, and the area feels safe even for teenagers coming home late.
What schools are nearby?
Primary schools within walking distance include Meester Baars (about 821 m) and Prinses Margrietschool (about 1.2 km). For secondary education, Dalton Rotterdam Palmentuin is about 1.2 km away. There's also a special education school, Auris Taalfontein, at 744 m.
How far are the shops?
The nearest supermarket is SPAR express at 553 m, just around the corner. Dirk and Albert Heijn are about 1.2,1.4 km away, a ten-minute walk. For a wider selection, you can bike to the Kralingse Plas area.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing did not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The resident review mentions a garden, but that refers to their own home, not necessarily this apartment. The plot size was not given, so it was best to assume no private outdoor space unless confirmed with the agent.
How many rooms does the apartment have?
The listing did not state the number of rooms or bedrooms. With 64 m², it could be a one- or two-bedroom apartment, but that's not confirmed.
