What does a rental property cost in IJsselmonde?
IJsselmonde is one of the most pronounced rental neighbourhoods of Rotterdam. As many as 63% of the more than 28,900 homes are rental properties, and almost half of those (48%) are owned by housing associations. This makes the neighbourhood interesting for people looking for affordable social housing, but waiting times are long. In the free sector, the average rent over the past year was €1,667 per month, with a range of €450 to €3,495. On average, these are homes of around 89 square metres. That is considerably cheaper than many places on the north side of the Maas: the average WOZ value in IJsselmonde is €247,000, compared to €320,000 for all of Rotterdam. So if you are looking for a rental home with a bit more space for less money, you will get a look-in here sooner.

A village in the city: how residents experience IJsselmonde
Residents on Buurtje.nl give IJsselmonde a 7.2 out of 10, based on 37 reviews. That is not an exceptional score, but the explanation shows what makes this neighbourhood special. The word that keeps coming up: village. Resident M.J. van Maarschalkerwaard describes it as "a village community in a big city" where people do each other's shopping when needed. Esther Karto has lived there for fourteen years and cites public transport, shops and maintenance as strong points. That village atmosphere is most palpable in Oud IJsselmonde, the historic heart around the Dorpskerk and the Koninginneweg, where you find narrow streets and old facades that you would not expect in Rotterdam-Zuid.
Accessibility scores highest among residents: an 8.1. IJsselmonde metro station takes you to the city centre in a quarter of an hour, and via the A16 and the Van Brienenoordbrug you are quickly on the motorway. Green spaces also score well (7.7). Park De Twee Heuvels and the Zuiderpark are within walking distance, although resident Teddy adds a caveat: the park is poorly lit in the evenings and there is often litter. The score for beauty (5.7) is therefore the lowest, and that is honestly visible in parts of Groot IJsselmonde and Beverwaard, where the streetscape looks somewhat dated here and there.
Amenities score a 7.4. Winkelcentrum Keizerswaard is the beating heart for daily shopping, and resident Martin Dollee emphasises the "many shops, good neighbours and good accessibility", although he is annoyed by paid parking. In Lombardijen you will find your own shopping strip and schools, which makes it practical for families.

Renting in IJsselmonde: for whom and for whom not?
With an average income of €31,300 and many single-person households (13,065 of the total households), IJsselmonde mainly attracts single people and starters who want to rent an affordable apartment in IJsselmonde. The large group of 25- to 45-year-olds (over 18,000) confirms this. Families with young children find space and schools here (education score: 7.4), but the labour participation rate of 59% and the low percentage of highly educated people (19%) indicate that this is not a trendy, young professionals' neighbourhood. If you are looking for a vibrant nightlife or trendy eateries, you are better off in the Centre. Considering buying instead of renting? Then check out the supply of homes for sale in IJsselmonde, because with a WOZ value well below the Rotterdam average, buying here is relatively accessible.

I'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 AII think that neighbourhood is completely quiet
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.
