What does a rental property cost in Hillegersberg-Schiebroek?
Hillegersberg-Schiebroek is one of the more expensive neighbourhoods to rent in Rotterdam. The average WOZ value here is €472,000, well above the Rotterdam average of €320,000. This is also reflected in the rental prices in the free sector: over the past twelve months, the average rent was €2,213 per month, with a range of €490 to €6,700. This concerns free-sector properties (excluding social housing) with an average floor area of 104 m². The cheaper properties in that range are often smaller apartments in Schiebroek, while the upper end consists of spacious single-family homes in Hillegersberg Noord and the Molenlaankwartier. At the top of this page you will always see the current daily price and the current supply.
Of the more than 20,900 homes in the neighbourhood, 46% are rental properties. About 31% fall under housing associations, meaning the free sector is relatively limited (around 15% of the total). Competition for rental properties in Hillegersberg-Schiebroek is therefore fierce, especially for the more sought-after segments around the Bergse Plassen and along the Straatweg. If you compare this with the broader supply of rental properties in Rotterdam, you will quickly pay 30 to 40 percent more here for a comparable floor area.
Hillegersberg-Schiebroek: village feel with Rotterdam edges
On the neighbourhood page of Hillegersberg-Schiebroek, residents rate their neighbourhood a 7.5 out of 10 based on 20 reviews. What immediately stands out: the score for green spaces is the highest at 8.2. That is no surprise when you walk along the Bergse Plassen, cycle through the Schiebroeksepark, or take a stroll through the villa neighbourhoods around the Prinses Irenelaan on a Sunday morning. Resident Niko writes that Hillegersberg is "a safe, clean neighbourhood with a good connection to the centre", although he would like to see better public transport links to surrounding neighbourhoods, such as Kralingen. That nuance comes up more often: accessibility scores a decent 7.8, but those living in Schiebroek without a car experience it differently. Resident Nisrin calls her neighbourhood "nice and quiet", but finds accessibility "very difficult" as a student who has to travel daily.
The difference between Hillegersberg and Schiebroek is large. Hillegersberg Zuid exudes a village atmosphere with the shops and terraces on the Bergse Dorpsstraat, the marina and the characteristic 1930s homes. Schiebroek is a different story: post-war porch flats, more social housing and a rougher appearance. Resident Ingrid is concerned about litter around the Kastanjesingel and the Rhododendronplein, while Thea complains about nuisance from loitering youths and noise pollution. The scores for cleanliness (6.9) and community (7.2) reflect that tension. At the same time, Schiebroek is the place where you can find an affordable rental home without leaving the neighbourhood entirely.
In terms of amenities, you are well served. The Kleiweg and Straatweg form the shopping strips with supermarkets, specialist shops and eateries. There are several primary schools (education score: 7.6) and the Erasmiaans Gymnasium is just around the corner in the centre. The average education level is high: 48% of residents are highly educated, and the average income of €48,200 is well above the Rotterdam average. For Terbregge, the most eastern part, you are truly on the border of city and polder, with plenty of space but also fewer amenities within walking distance.
Renting in Hillegersberg-Schiebroek: golden for families, tough for starters
With an average rent of over €2,200 in the free sector, renting an apartment in Hillegersberg-Schiebroek is mainly feasible for dual-income couples and families with above-average incomes. The neighbourhood attracts many people in their thirties and forties: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years old. If you are a starter or student, the free sector here is virtually unaffordable and the waiting time for social housing is long. Consider then the supply in Rotterdam Noord or Delfshaven, where prices are lower. Those who want to invest in a home to buy will find the current supply on the page with homes for sale in Hillegersberg-Schiebroek. For seniors, the neighbourhood is attractive due to the greenery and tranquillity, although the accessibility of older porch flats in Schiebroek is a point of attention.

I really like the neighbourhood, but it's very difficult to reach. Very unfortunate and tiring since I'm a student and I spend a lot of time on this. Other than that, it's a nice neighbourhood to live in with your family.
Auto-translated to English by AIDuring my daily walk from Kastanjesingel to Rhododendronplein, I took photos and made a collage of them. To my regret, this mess has been lying there for weeks and is only getting worse. Can't we provide willing residents with a litter picker and rubbish bags and/or reward the deposit can collectors with bags of rubbish? In addition, cycling on the pavement has become common practice, even on Sundays. When I step out of the garden with my dog, I have to look left and right to avoid being run over. And this has already happened once!
Auto-translated to English by AIAs part of Hillegersberg, this neighbourhood is a safe, clean neighbourhood with a good connection to the centre. It would be nice if the connection with surrounding neighbourhoods by public transport were improved (think of, for example, Kralingen). Additionally, there is occasional speed and noise pollution on, among others, Straatweg and Kleiweg. Also, the Kleiweg should be made safer for children because many people cross outside the zebra crossings. Moreover, this is a 50 km/h road where the zebra crossings themselves are not clear for car and bicycle drivers.
