Het Lage Land, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Jacob van Akenstraat 54 sits in a leafy part of Rotterdam, with the Kralingse Plas just a stroll away. At 180 m² of living space on a 323 m² plot, it's a proper family home, and with a price of €650,000, it sits well above the neighbourhood average, reflecting its size and type. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one is clearly on the larger side.

Another notes: "It's quite a green neighbourhood with the Kralingse Plas nearby and lots of trees." The area is densely populated (over 11,000 residents) and very urban, yet the many grass patches and parks give it a relaxed feel. The neighbourhood Het Lage Land is well connected, with the metro and Alexandrium shopping centre close by.
For your morning bread, the Coop is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Jumbo are a couple of streets away. Families have a choice of primary schools: Basisschool voor Christelijk Onderwijs Onze Wereld is on your doorstep, and De Kleine Prins is a five-minute walk.

I've been living in this neighbourhood for 5 years, and I've felt at home here since day 1 when we moved here! It's a cosy neighbourhood with lots of dogs, cats and families with young children! There are plenty of grass patches where I can walk my dog. Close to the metro and Alexandrium. So it's very accessible! I think it's a really nice neighbourhood!!!
Auto-translated to English by AII haven't lived here very long, but the type of housing isn't that great. Otherwise, it's quite a green neighbourhood with the Kralingse Plas nearby and lots of trees.
