Auto-translated to English by AII have been living in Prinsenland for a number of years now, in an apartment with my family, and I experience the neighbourhood as a pleasant and lively environment. What strikes me most is the great diversity of residents: people with different backgrounds, faiths and cultures live together here in a respectful way. This creates a dynamic atmosphere in which you always discover something new — whether it's about food, traditions or encounters on the street. The neighbourhood generally feels safe. During the day you often see people walking or children playing in the parks, and even in the evening I dare to walk the streets without worry. The community is friendly and helpful, but it would be nicer if there were a few more meeting places where neighbours could get to know each other. In terms of hygiene and maintenance, most of the neighbourhood is tidy, although there are certain spots — especially near the shopping centres — where it sometimes looks a bit messier. Housing is well organised, although you notice that some buildings are in need of renovation. I am also satisfied with the facilities: schools, supermarkets and public transport are all easily accessible. Accessibility is definitely a big plus of this district — you can be in the centre of Rotterdam in no time, and the main roads are also nearby. What I personally really appreciate is the nature in the area. The proximity of the Kralingse Bos and the quiet walking routes make Prinsenland a nice place to escape the hustle and bustle. All in all, I am very happy with this living environment. There is room for improvement, but the balance between tranquillity, accessibility and diversity makes Prinsenland a pleasant neighbourhood to live in.

Auto-translated to English by AII'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.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood to grow up in, quiet atmosphere on the street and you can walk well. The residents are moderately involved with each other but do greet each other friendly. There are several schools with good education and a sports club, which strengthens social cohesion. The metro, bus and two motorways nearby mean you can leave the neighbourhood quickly.
Auto-translated to English by AICan still walk the streets just fine with my little dog in the evening
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is nice, but it remains a student house so there are issues with rats and nuisance. Additionally, it is easily accessible by car or electric bike; with a normal bike everything is just a bit too far.
Auto-translated to English by AII like it here, I love the liveliness, the shops nearby and yet nature close by. I think you have to be careful everywhere for safety.
Auto-translated to English by AII feel at ease in the Alexanderpolder where I have lived my whole life.

Het is net een klein dorpje, je kunt overal fijn heen fietsen of lopen. Er is ook openbaar vervoer wat het nog makkelijker maakt om ergens heen te gaan. Niet al te ver van het centrum af.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for a few years. There's litter on the ground. But the supermarkets are good in the neighbourhood and there's a community centre. Nice!
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood. The airport is nearby, but you don't hear a thing. Zestienhovenpark is great for walking or jogging. Many families with children live here. There is a lot of greenery and you see many birds. The best neighbourhood

Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I was born here so I grew up with the neighbourhood as it is now.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe facilities and the apartment itself are nice. But around the building there is a lot of rubbish on the street and junkies.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is and remains a village
