Overschie, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Theodora Jacobalaan has a generous 170 m² of living space, set on a 215 m² plot. Built in 1927, it has an F energy label, so heating costs will be something to factor in. At €795,000, the asking price is 87% above the neighbourhood average of €426,107, which is on the high side, but then you are getting a home that is 65% larger than the typical Overschie property. For context, detached houses in Rotterdam are a rare find in this price range.
Overschie has a strong community spirit, as one resident puts it: "Overschie stirs something. You see more attention for people on a tight budget." They highlight the many volunteer initiatives, from weekly jumble sales to free meals for the elderly. The neighbourhood has around 6,700 residents, with a mix of families and singles. Average incomes are in line with the city, and the area feels more like a village than a city district. This is based on a single review. Read more about municipality Rotterdam.
For your morning bread, PLUS and Dirk are both just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Openbare Daltonschool Overschie is a five-minute walk, and Albert Schweitzer is just a bit further. The nearest park or green space is on your doorstep, perfect for a stroll. The train station is a ten-minute drive, but bus connections are good.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Rijndelta Makelaars and also appears on other channels. The asking price and details are as published by the agent.

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 Theodora Jacobalaan 42, Rotterdam
The asking price is 87% above the average for Overschie, but this home is also 65% larger than the typical property in the neighbourhood. Detached houses are scarce in Rotterdam, so the premium reflects both the size and the type. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the character of a 1927 home with an F energy label.
Overschie has a strong community feel with many volunteer-run initiatives, from weekly jumble sales to free meals for the elderly. One resident describes it as a place where 'you see more attention for people on a tight budget.' The area has a mix of families and singles, and the density is moderate, giving it a village-like atmosphere within Rotterdam.
PLUS and Dirk are both within 230 metres, so you can walk there in a couple of minutes. Lidl is about 440 metres away, and Albert Heijn is 1.4 km. For daily groceries, you have plenty of options close by.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. Openbare Daltonschool Overschie is 255 metres away, and Albert Schweitzer is 405 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 3.2 km away, so you would need a bike or car for that.
An F label indicates poor energy efficiency, so heating costs are likely to be high. The house was built in 1927 and has not been upgraded to modern standards. You would need to factor in potential investments in insulation, double glazing, or a new heating system to improve the label and reduce bills.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away, which is about a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride.
The plot is 215 m², but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden.
