Living in Hillegersberg Zuid, Rotterdam
Hillegersberg Zuid feels like a transitional area between bustling Rotterdam-Noord and the green, village-like character of Hillegersberg. It is not a neighbourhood that wows you with trendy shops or vibrant nightlife, and that is precisely why many residents enjoy living here. Resident Jidde sums it up well: he has "generally a good experience" with the neighbourhood, though he notes that "very little happens" and there are no major shopping streets. That is true: for extensive shopping, you go to the Bergse Dorpsstraat further up in Hillegersberg Noord or to the centre of Rotterdam.
The neighbourhood is intersected by the Straatweg and the Kleiweg, two busy traffic arteries where you will find supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Lidl), small shops, hairdressers and eateries. Along these roads are also most of the apartments, often above shop premises. The side streets are much quieter, with pre-war and post-war terraced houses and semi-detached homes, often with front and back gardens. Green spaces are well represented: the Bergse Plassen are within walking distance to the north, and the Vroesenpark is quickly reachable by bike.
In terms of education, the neighbourhood scores remarkably high among residents (8.7 out of 10). There are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including De Pijler and OBS Cornelis Jetses. For secondary education, the Melanchthon on Kastanjelaan is a well-known option. Resident Niko cites "good educational opportunities" as a plus point.
Opinions on accessibility are divided. The score is 6.7. With tram 7 (Straatweg stop) you are in the centre in about 20 minutes, and bus lines towards Schiebroek and Overschie stop along the Kleiweg. But Niko notes that the public transport connection to surrounding neighbourhoods such as Kralingen could be better. By car, you are quickly on the A20 and A13. For many residents, the bicycle is the main mode of transport, as Jidde also indicates: "a very large amount is accessible by bike."
An honest point of attention: the Straatweg and Kleiweg cause traffic noise and occasional speeding, something Niko specifically mentions. If you are considering a home on one of these roads, that is something to take into account. The neighbourhood scores an average of 7.6 among residents, with strong points on safety (8.3) and housing (8.3).

Keep in mind that desirable homes sell quickly and overbidding occurs.

Auto-translated to English by AII generally have a good experience with my neighbourhood; not much happens in my opinion, but there are also no very large shopping areas, shopping streets, etc. I don't mind this at all because a lot is accessible by bike, but unfortunately there is no metro within walking distance for me.
