Groot IJsselmonde, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1928 detached house on Hordijk offers a rare combination of space and character in Rotterdam.

The price of €695,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €350,608, but that reflects the exceptional size and type, detached houses in Rotterdam are scarce.

It's a village in a big city. If necessary, people do grocery shopping for each other.' The neighbourhood has a strong community feel, with many families and a mix of ages. It's a lively, urban area, the address density is high, yet it retains a friendly, small-town atmosphere. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Groot IJsselmonde.
For your daily shopping, Lidl is just around the corner, and PLUS is a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Mr van Eijck and Christelijke Basisschool Beatrix, both a couple of streets away. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, perfect for a quick stroll. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the amenities of a major city, yet this street feels calm and residential.

Auto-translated to English by AIOud IJsselmonde is a green neighbourhood with many elderly residents. People are friendly and helpful. It's not really safe here, for example Park de Twee Heuvelen is not lit at all and many strange people walk around. There is a lot of litter in the area and municipal bins are rarely cleaned, which means quite a lot of pests are roaming around.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt can best be described as multicultural, where most people seem to keep to themselves. If you strike up a conversation, they are surprised. The sense of community could be much better, but they are working hard on that. I quite enjoy it here. In terms of safety, I often see police patrolling, two shopping centres within walking distance, bus and tram right outside. Hygiene leaves something to be desired, especially rubbish dumped on the street. The greenery is left wild, supposedly for the insects, but it's just pure cost-cutting on green maintenance.
