Lombardijen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis detached home on Karl Marxstraat offers a rare combination of space and privacy in Rotterdam. With 259 m² of living area on a 1,289 m² plot, it stands out in a neighbourhood where most homes are terraced or semi-detached. The price is on the high side compared to the local average, but that reflects the exceptional size and type. For context, detached houses in Rotterdam are scarce, and this one is a true outlier.

A third simply says: "I think that neighbourhood is completely quiet." Based on three reviews, the overall score is 6.72 out of 10. The neighbourhood Lombardijen has a high density of 2,655 addresses per km², typical of a very strongly urban area.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging 11 on your doorstep and Paus Joannesschool KBO a short stroll away. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city, with a hospital, public transport, and parks nearby.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Ooms Makelaars and Ooms Veldhoen & Romeijn Makelaars, so it's available through several channels.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that so much rubbish is thrown outside the bins in the neighbourhood, and that bulky waste is not reported by residents, resulting in a lot of litter and vermin.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, Lombardijen has deteriorated significantly, especially in the last 10 years. You can see it visibly becoming impoverished, which is such a shame for such a beautiful neighbourhood that always had a reputation as a nice, clean, tidy neighbourhood. Unfortunately, both the residents and certainly the municipality of Rotterdam contribute to this. Safety is hard to find, drug nuisance, nuisance at the underground containers where all household items are just dumped. Rubbish on the street, which a number of residents try to keep up with by regularly picking it up, otherwise we see the rats and mice dancing merrily around the containers. And this is just a small impression of the waste pit of Rotterdam. The municipality must stop cutting costs and handing out fewer bonuses to the higher-ups, use money for the neighbourhoods and ensure that it becomes liveable again for the real Rotterdammers.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood but there could be improvements like more bins and more cleaning of the rubbish on the street.
