Living in Hillegersberg Noord, Rotterdam
Anyone visiting Hillegersberg Noord for the first time immediately notices that this is not an average Rotterdam neighbourhood. The streets are wide, there are mature trees along the pavements and the homes have spacious front gardens. It feels more like a quiet villa district than a densely built urban neighbourhood. That is precisely the appeal of the area: you live within cycling distance of the city centre, but the atmosphere is green and peaceful.
The buildings largely date from the 1950s and 1960s. You will find detached homes, semi-detached houses and two-under-one-roof homes, interspersed with a few apartment complexes. The streets around the Bergse Plassen give the neighbourhood an almost rural character. The lakes themselves are a central point: residents walk there, fish, kayak and walk their dogs. In summer it is busy, but on weekday mornings you have the water almost to yourself.
For daily shopping you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. There is an Albert Heijn within walking distance, and on the Bergse Dorpsstraat you will find a mix of small shops, a bakery and catering establishments. Resident Hidde writes: "It is a nice neighbourhood where many families with children live, and there are also many facilities such as the Albert Heijn and also a lot of nature." Schools are well represented: both primary and secondary education are available in or directly around the neighbourhood, making it attractive for families.
Resident Mark describes the neighbourhood as "very hygienic with sufficient recreational space" and emphasises that the area is easily accessible by tram, car and train. Accessibility indeed scores an 8.0 in resident reviews. Tram lines connect the neighbourhood with Rotterdam Central and the rest of the city, and via the A20 you are quickly on the ring road. Yet there is also criticism: student Nisrin writes that the neighbourhood is "very difficult to reach", indicating that public transport connections are not equally convenient for everyone, depending on where you need to go.
The overall neighbourhood score stands at 7.5 out of 10, based on resident reviews. Safety, accessibility and green space all score 8.0. Facilities and beauty score somewhat lower (6.6 and 7.0), indicating room for improvement in the shopping offer and the appearance of some street corners. See all scores and reviews on the Hillegersberg Noord neighbourhood page.

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 AII haven't lived here long. I think it's a nice neighbourhood. But sometimes a bit busy. And it is a pleasant and good neighbourhood. The neighbours are also friendly. There are plenty of schools nearby. It is easily accessible and you are right in the middle of Hillegersberg. So you can easily walk to the shops. I don't know the neighbours very well. I also think our house is good, it is easily accessible but it is almost on the main road and many cars pass by. Sometimes cars drive quite fast down the street. Which is not very safe.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe've been living here for 11 years It took some getting used to living in a 55+ apartment block. Unfortunately, as soon as a flat becomes vacant, it's immediately filled to the brim with 6 people in a 3-room flat. Junkies. And young lads. And this in a 55+ block.
