Harmony between flats and generations: this is how Schenkel lives
Schenkel is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its grandeur or trendy eateries. It is a quiet, predominantly green area where different generations live side by side. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (1,680 residents), but there are also many over-65s (1,455) and a sizeable group of young people and families. Resident D. Stuivenberg sums it up well in a review on the Schenkel neighbourhood page: "A neighbourhood with flats where elderly, young families and students live. All in harmony with each other." That picture fits. With 1,270 single-person households and only 35% married, Schenkel is certainly also a place for singles.
On Buurtje.nl, Schenkel scores 8.0 out of 10 across all categories, from safety to accessibility and green spaces. That even score suits its character: it is a neighbourhood without major highs, but also without notable weak points. The Stationsbuurt offers direct access to the metro station, bringing commuters to Rotterdam within twenty minutes. In the Florabuurt and Bloemenbuurt-oost, you will mainly find porch flats and low-rise buildings from the 1970s and 1980s. That is not charming for everyone, but it keeps rents in the social sector affordable.
Stuivenberg also mentions that the neighbourhood will be made more sustainable in the coming period. That is relevant: the average gas consumption is 980 m³ and electricity consumption is 2,710 kWh per home, indicating older homes that are not all well-insulated yet. The sustainability improvements could lead to lower energy costs in the long term, but in the short term may cause inconvenience due to renovation work. The municipality of Capelle aan den IJssel has plans for this, so make sure to inform yourself well if you are looking for a rental home in one of the flat blocks.
Renting in Schenkel: for whom and for whom not?
Renting in Schenkel suits singles and couples who want to rent an affordable apartment in the Rotterdam region, without having to live in the city itself. The metro connection makes it attractive for commuters. Over-65s also feel at home here given the quiet atmosphere and flat terrain. If you are looking for a lively neighbourhood with eateries and nightlife, Schenkel is not for you. Also for higher incomes wanting a spacious single-family home, the supply is limited.
