Living in Zevenkamp: green, mixed and well-connected
Zevenkamp was built in the 1980s as part of the large expansions on the east side of Rotterdam. The neighbourhood consists mainly of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and low-rise apartments, interspersed with some taller flats along the edges. The streetscape is typical of that construction period: wide avenues, plenty of greenery and spacious layouts with parking spaces in front of the doors. Residents therefore give the green environment a remarkably high score of 8.7 out of 10. There are several parks, ponds and playgrounds, and the Hoge Bergse Bos is within cycling distance.
In terms of amenities, Zevenkamp is fairly self-sufficient. The small Zevenkamp shopping centre on the Zevenkampse Ring offers a Lidl, Hema and bakery. Resident Rik, who has lived there for nine years, sums it up succinctly: "The Lidl is nearby, and the Hema and the bakery, so it's great here." In addition, there is a GP practice, pharmacy and swimming pool De Zevensprong within walking distance. For larger groceries or more shopping options, you can go to the Alexandrium shopping centre, which is just one metro stop away.
Accessibility also scores high at 8.3. Zevenkamp metro station (lines D and E) takes you to Rotterdam Central in about twenty minutes. By car, you are quickly on the A20 and the Rotterdam Ring Road. Bus routes connect the neighbourhood with surrounding districts and Capelle aan den IJssel.

The average neighbourhood score is 8.1, but not everyone is equally enthusiastic.

At the same time, others appreciate the festivals and markets that are occasionally organised.

Zevenkamp is a wonderful quiet neighbourhood, everyone here is cosy, diverse and interesting. Everyone has their own goals, some are starting a new family, some are renovating their home. It's super cosy and you can go to anyone about anything.
