Living in Tussendijken, Rotterdam
Tussendijken is a densely populated, urban neighbourhood in the heart of Delfshaven, wedged between the Schie and the Delfshavense Schie. The neighbourhood has a distinct character: multicultural, lively and compact. Over 7,300 people live here on a relatively small area, and you notice that on the street. There is always something going on, there are always people outside, and the mix of backgrounds and ages creates a unique atmosphere you won't find in every Rotterdam neighbourhood.
Resident Lindalva describes it aptly: "My neighbourhood is a nice, cosy and multicultural neighbourhood where many different people live together. There are many children, which creates a lively and cheerful atmosphere." Those children are also reflected in the figures: the age group 0 to 15 years has more than 1,100 residents. There is a cosy square in the neighbourhood where residents meet each other, especially in the summer months.
The homes were largely built between 1900 and 1960: porch flats, upstairs-downstairs homes and narrow terraced houses with characteristic facades. Many homes are owned by housing associations (59%), but there are also private landlords and a small segment of owner-occupied homes. Anyone looking for a home to buy in Tussendijken will find relatively affordable options here compared to neighbourhoods like Nieuwe Westen or Middelland, where asking prices are generally higher.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is reasonably self-sufficient. Along the Vierambachtsstraat and the Beukelsdijk you will find small supermarkets, bakeries, butchers and various shops that cover daily needs. For larger shopping trips, the shopping centre on the Nieuwe Binnenweg or Rotterdam city centre is easily accessible. There are several primary schools in and directly around the neighbourhood, which is also reflected in the resident score: education scores 7.3, the highest sub-score. Green space is scarcer, with a score of only 5.0. The Bospolder-Tussendijken park offers some relief, but large parks or waterside walking areas are not just around the corner.
Accessibility is a clear strong point, rated 8.0 by residents. Bospolder metro station (lines B and C) is within walking distance and takes you to Rotterdam Central in about ten minutes. Several bus routes run through and past the neighbourhood. By car, the A20 is quickly accessible via the Schiedamsedijk or Mathenesserdijk. Cycling to the city centre takes about fifteen minutes. Resident Benjamin, who has lived in the neighbourhood for six years, mentions it himself: "There are many amenities in the neighbourhood and everything is within walking distance, that's nice."
Anyone comparing the neighbourhood with neighbouring areas like Bospolder or Spangen will notice that Tussendijken is close in character to Bospolder: similar buildings, similar population composition, similar challenges in terms of safety and liveability. Spangen has slightly more green space and room. The overall neighbourhood score on Tussendijken stands at 6.2 based on resident reviews. That is fair: the neighbourhood has energy and character, but also points for attention such as safety (6.0) and appearance (5.3).
Who is buying in Tussendijken interesting for?
Tussendijken mainly appeals to first-time buyers and young buyers who want to live in Rotterdam without paying the prices of more popular neighbourhoods. The average sale price of €344,254 is admittedly above the WOZ value, but the range starts at €165,000, making entry realistic for first-time buyers. Families with children will find a lively environment with several schools nearby. Those looking for peace, space or lots of greenery are less suited here. Be prepared for a limited supply of owner-occupied homes due to the high proportion of rental properties.
