Living in 's-Gravenland, Rotterdam
's-Gravenland is a green, quiet neighbourhood in the east of Rotterdam, nestled between the Kralingse Plas and the greenery of Prins Alexander. It is not a neighbourhood you drive through by chance. Those who live here have consciously chosen to do so. The housing stock consists of a mix of detached houses, semi-detached houses and spacious apartments, mostly built from the 1960s to the 1980s, supplemented by newer projects. Many plots are generous, and the streets are wide and green. It feels more like a suburban municipality than Rotterdam-Zuid or the city centre.
Residents give the neighbourhood a 7.8 out of 10. The scores for safety (8.2) and green space (8.0) are particularly striking. Resident Bakker sums it up succinctly: "I love living here, I feel safe, shops nearby, nature close by. What more could you want." Many residents share that feeling. The Kralingse Plas is within walking distance and offers space for running, cycling or just walking. The Kralingse Bos borders directly on the neighbourhood.
In terms of amenities, you are well catered for. Alexandrium shopping centre is a few minutes' drive away and offers a complete range from supermarkets to specialist shops. Closer by, you will find smaller shops and an Albert Heijn. There are several primary schools in the area, and the score for education (7.8) confirms that parents are satisfied here. For secondary schools, you can go to the surrounding districts.
Accessibility is a double-edged sword. By car, you are quickly on the A16 and A20, and you can reach Rotterdam city centre in a quarter of an hour. Kralingse Zoom metro station is within cycling distance and provides a direct connection to Rotterdam Centraal and Zuidplein. However, resident Nina notes that "with a normal bike everything is just too far" and that you are best off with a car or e-bike. That is honest: 's-Gravenland is not the type of neighbourhood where you have everything on your doorstep.
Compared to nearby neighbourhoods such as Ommoord or Prinsenland, you pay considerably more in 's-Gravenland, but you also get more space and greenery in return. If you are looking for something more affordable within the same district, also look at Het Lage Land or Oosterflank. For the full picture of this neighbourhood, including all resident reviews and district data, see the 's-Gravenland neighbourhood page.
Who is a home for sale in 's-Gravenland interesting for?
With an average household income of €52,800 and 49% highly educated, 's-Gravenland mainly attracts movers and dual-income couples. The largest group of households consists of families with children (1,350), and the dominant age group is 45 to 65 years. Buying an apartment in 's-Gravenland is possible from around €340,000, but for a single-family home you quickly need to think towards €600,000 or more. First-time buyers with a smaller budget are less well placed here. Those who prefer to rent can turn to the supply of rental properties in 's-Gravenland, although supply there is also limited. Be honest with yourself: buying a home in 's-Gravenland requires a substantial budget, and overbidding is not uncommon.

Auto-translated to English by AII've only lived there recently, but very quiet and green and nice people. All amenities within short distance.
Auto-translated to English by AII love living here, feel safe, shops nearby, nature close by, what more could one want.. great apartment, nicely finished, view. I'll grow old here
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's very cosy and close to the city. Shopping centre within walking distance.
Auto-translated to English by AII lived on Ringvaartweg. I found it a bit unsociable. I did have neighbours I could talk to across the street and a bit further down. The rest I hardly saw or spoke to. If I drove up in a new car, the whole neighbourhood was alert. You might find that nice for safety. I found it felt a bit strange. A couple of nice little lakes nearby, enjoyed skating there in winter. At the end of Ringvaartweg there's a station, so it's fairly easy to reach. I think the neighbourhoods around Ringvaartweg would have been nicer, although I didn't live there but of course often cycled and walked through them.
