Living in Hoogvliet Zuid, Rotterdam
Hoogvliet Zuid is one of those neighbourhoods that outsiders might overlook, but which has surprisingly much to offer its residents. It is a green, spacious neighbourhood with wide avenues, many green strips and short connections to the countryside towards the Oude Maas and the Visserijgat. The character is suburban: no city bustle, but peace and space. The housing mainly consists of terraced houses and semi-detached houses, interspersed with porch flats and some newer blocks. Many homes have a front and back garden, which makes the neighbourhood attractive for families.
In terms of amenities, much revolves around the Binnenban shopping centre, where you will find supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Lidl), a pharmacy, a library and various small shops. For larger groceries or more shopping choice, residents go to Spijkenisse or the centre of Rotterdam. Resident Sabina notes that "shops are far from walking distance" if you don't live near the centre, and that public transport in Hoogvliet is limited, "the only good thing is the metro to the centre". Hoogvliet metro station on the Caland line takes you to Rotterdam Central in about 25 minutes, which is a good option for commuters. By car, you are quickly on the Rotterdam ring road via the A15 and towards the Europoort. Buses also run, but frequency is poor outside peak hours.
Residents give Hoogvliet Zuid a 7.3 out of 10 based on 9 reviews. Education scores notably high (8.4), which fits with the range of primary schools such as De Vliedberg and Het Spectrum in the immediate vicinity. Green spaces (7.6) and amenities (7.4) also score above average. Residents are less satisfied with the state of public space: cleanliness gets a 6.8 and housing a 6.9. Resident H.A. writes: "My neighbourhood has deteriorated a lot in the last 20 years. People don't greet each other, children throw rubbish on the street and the council doesn't take residents seriously." At the same time, Truus van Dam talks about multicultural connectedness: "At Eid we get cookies from the Ethiopian neighbour and on a birthday a present, so sweet." That contrast typifies Hoogvliet Zuid: how you experience the neighbourhood depends heavily on your immediate street and neighbours.
Compared to Hoogvliet Noord, the southern part is slightly greener and more spacious.

Auto-translated to English by AIShops are far from walking distance, public transport is not doable in Hoogvliet, the only good thing is the metro to the centre. There are many loitering youths causing nuisance, especially in November and December they throw fireworks, they seem like bombs, windows shake from it. There is also little for young people to do. There is hardly anything to do in terms of activities for adults. Traffic is also a disaster despite the speed bumps.

Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood has really gone downhill in the last 20 years. People don't greet each other, children throw rubbish on the street and the council doesn't take residents seriously. Too little greenery and far too few meeting places with a bench.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy lively neighbourhood. Nice people, many amenities, everything close together
Auto-translated to English by AILots of people from other countries, but we get along very well. For Eid al-Fitr we get cookies from the Ethiopian neighbour, and for a birthday a gift, so sweet. From the Pakistani neighbours wine at Christmas and everything that is not allowed in their faith. And from the Ethiopian neighbour a Christmas arrangement. We also give gifts when they have a birthday or when a baby is born, and cake for birthdays. We respect each other's faith and way of life. It can be like this too. For Sinterklaas a chocolate letter.
Auto-translated to English by AIGoing downhill, people no longer care about each other. The youth have nothing to do here, playing football on the square between the plants and cars (with all the consequences).
Auto-translated to English by AIWe live in a neighbourhood where many people from other countries live. And that goes very well. Respect for each other's religion. We are the older ones in the neighbourhood, our children grew up here. And they have moved to other municipalities. There are now many more children than when we had young children. And when it's Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha, we always get some treats from the neighbours. And at Christmas, we in our neighbourhood do that again with birthdays. In short, a nice neighbourhood, wouldn't want to move. Although it is now difficult because my husband walks with a walker. But the rent here is still affordable. And the shops are within walking distance, also very important.
