Living in Liskwartier, Rotterdam
Liskwartier is nestled between the Noorderkanaal, the Central Station area and Vroesenpark. It is a typical pre-war urban neighbourhood with narrow streets, porch flats and the occasional terraced house with a small front and back garden. The atmosphere is urban but not hectic. You notice that it is a neighbourhood where many young professionals and people in their twenties and thirties live: the largest age group (2,970 residents) is between 25 and 45, and almost half of the residents are highly educated.
Resident Nina sums it up well: "Actually, everything you need is in the neighbourhood: supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops, train and tram station." Along the Schiekade and Bergweg you will find a mix of small shops, eateries and daily grocery facilities. The Albert Heijn and Lidl on the Bergweg are the most used supermarkets. For coffee and breakfast, there are several places on the Zwaanshals and surrounding area. Within walking distance is Vroesenpark, the largest green area in the immediate vicinity, although residents score the theme 'green' with a 6.3, the lowest of all categories. Nina also notes that "a bit more green would certainly be an addition."
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores a 7.7. Rotterdam Noord station is a few minutes' bike ride away and takes you to Central Station in two stops. Tram lines on the Schiekade and Bergselaan connect you to the centre and Rotterdam-West. The metro is a bit less close, which is a frequently heard point. By car, you can quickly reach the A20 via the Stadhoudersweg. Resident Imraan describes Liskwartier as "multicultural" and emphasises: "Everyone feels at home and you can go anywhere." With a safety score of 8.7, residents feel above-average safe here.
Compared to neighbouring areas such as Provenierswijk and Oude Noorden, Liskwartier is slightly quieter and more expensive. If you are looking for more green and space, then Blijdorp is worth considering. If you prefer to be closer to the centre, look at the centre.

Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for about four years now and I think it's a nice area to live in. Actually, everything you need is in the neighbourhood: supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops, train and tram station. A bit more green would certainly be an addition, and it's also a shame that the metro is a bit of a bike ride away. Lately, I do notice more litter on the streets and more confused/addicted people on the streets, which gives a less safe feeling. I don't get harassed very often myself, but I wouldn't let children play/walk around here alone. In terms of green space, I would appreciate a nice park like in Blijdorp, but if extra trees are planted next to the busy roads, I think that would already help a lot.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe Listkwartier is a beautiful part of Rotterdam North, where most streets were not bombed. Gorgeous streets and houses, and the neighbourhood is truly up-and-coming. Lots of new hip spots, cosy eateries and good restaurants. In terms of safety, it's improving rapidly. Every now and then (too) fast-driving antisocial cars, but safety is getting better and better.
