Living in Hillegersberg-Schiebroek: village character with urban advantages
Hillegersberg-Schiebroek is no ordinary Rotterdam district. The area consists of very different neighbourhoods, from the spacious 1930s homes and villas in Hillegersberg Zuid to the post-war porch flats in Schiebroek. You notice that diversity in the atmosphere too. Around the Bergse Plassen and in the Molenlaankwartier it feels almost village-like, with small shops along the Straatweg and the Bergse Dorpsstraat. In Schiebroek the character is somewhat more urban and practical. Residents on the district page of Hillegersberg-Schiebroek give the neighbourhood an average of 7.5 out of 10. Green space scores notably high (8.2): the Bergse Plassen, the Schiebroeksepark and Park de Twee Heuvels offer plenty of space. Resident Niko calls it "a safe, clean neighbourhood with a good connection to the city centre". At the same time, there are also critical voices. Ingrid Roos from Schiebroek complains about litter and overdue maintenance in public spaces, and Thea Damen reports nuisance from loitering youths and noise pollution. The cleanliness score (6.9) confirms that picture, especially in parts of Schiebroek.
In terms of amenities, you are well catered for. Along the Kleiweg and Straatweg you will find supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Lidl), specialist shops and eateries. For larger shopping trips, shopping centre Alexandrium is within cycling distance. There are several primary schools, including Montessorischool Hillegersberg and OBS De Kameleon, plus secondary schools such as Melanchthon. The education score from residents is 7.6. Sports clubs are plentiful: tennis club Hillegersberg, rowing club RIC on the lake and football club Hillegersberg. The average income of €48,200 and a high education level (48% highly educated) characterise the district's profile.
Accessibility scores a 7.8 from residents, but the nuance is important. Metro station Meijersplein (line E) and tram stops along the Kleiweg (line 4) take you to Rotterdam Central in about 15 minutes. Terbregge and Hillegersberg Noord are harder to reach by public transport. Resident Nisrin confirms this: "I find the neighbourhood very nice, but very difficult to reach." By car, you are quickly on the A20 and A13. If you compare Hillegersberg-Schiebroek with districts like Kralingen-Crooswijk or Noord, you pay more here, but you also get more space and greenery. More information about living and life in the city can be found on the website of the municipality of Rotterdam.

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.
