Overschie, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis pre-war corner house on Torenlaan sits in Overschie, a village-like part of Rotterdam. With 118 m² of living space and a 329 m² plot, it offers generous proportions for a family home. The asking price of €650,000 is 53% above the neighbourhood average of €426,107, which is on the high side, but the size and character are exceptional. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Rotterdam vary widely in price.
Overschie feels like a village within the city. One resident describes it as a place where people look out for each other: "Overschie stirs something. You see more attention for people on a tight budget." They highlight small-scale initiatives like weekly meals for the elderly and a second-hand shop run by volunteers. The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many families and a strong sense of togetherness. Average incomes are in line with the city, and most homes are owner-occupied. This is a place where neighbours know each other. Read more about municipality Rotterdam.
For your morning bread, PLUS is just around the corner, and Dirk is a couple of streets away. Lidl is a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Openbare Daltonschool Overschie and CBS De Regenboog are both a five-minute walk. The nearest secondary school is further out, about 3 km away. A park is a couple of streets away, and a GP is a ten-minute walk. The train station is 3.3 km away, so you'll likely cycle or drive.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Anke Bodewes Makelaardij o.g. B.V. and on Funda and Pararius.

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.

About Torenlaan 3, Rotterdam
The asking price is 53% above the average asking price in Overschie (€426,107). However, this is a corner house with a large plot (329 m²) and 118 m² of living space, which is above average for the neighbourhood. The price reflects the size and character, but it is on the high side compared to other homes currently for sale.
The home has energy label E. This means it is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Overschie, 37.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war house. You may want to consider improvements like insulation or double glazing.
Overschie has a strong community spirit, with residents organising meals for the elderly and a second-hand shop. It scores 7.71 out of 10 based on one review. The area has a mix of ages and many families. It feels more like a village than a city neighbourhood, with parks and local shops within walking distance.
There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk: Openbare Daltonschool Overschie (542 m), CBS De Regenboog (578 m), and Albert Schweitzer (642 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 3.2 km away, so you may need to cycle or drive.
PLUS is 363 m away (just around the corner), Dirk is 481 m, and Lidl is 625 m. For a larger shop, Jumbo and Albert Heijn are about 1.5 km away. Daily groceries are very convenient.
The plot is 329 m², which is large for a corner house in Overschie. However, the listing does not specify whether there is a garden, terrace, or other outdoor space.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 118 m² of living space, it likely has at least three bedrooms, but you would need to confirm the layout with the agent.
