It is a very safe neighbourhood. It is clean and beautiful with its nature and houses. The metro and tram are nearby and from there you can get anywhere really. There are also always enough shared bikes/scooters in the area. For children, there are plenty of schools and sports facilities in the neighbourhood. A playground is not very close, only a big one on the Oudedijk. But there are enough small parks to play in, or on school playgrounds. There are plenty of nice little cafes and ice cream shops.

Auto-translated to English by AII grew up in Kralingen so from my perspective it's a very nice, cosy neighbourhood, easily accessible by e.g. metro or tram. Sometimes there are dangerous incidents, like shootings, but that's almost never and hardly anyone actually experiences them. There are often people trying to steal bikes. The hygiene is fine, it's not a dirty neighbourhood... but there is a lot of litter, especially plastic. I went to school here myself, so I think the education is very good; most people get an average or higher secondary school recommendation, so there's nothing to complain about. A pity is that there aren't that many facilities; of course there's the Kralingse Plas and the forest, but compared to e.g. Hillegersberg-Schiebroek it's a bit less entertaining because there are many cafes and shops there, and in Kralingen I miss that. But it remains my hometown!

About Hoflaan 134, Rotterdam
The asking price is 60% above the average asking price in Kralingen Oost, which is €981,625. However, this apartment is also 69% larger than the average home in the area (253 m² vs 150 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €6,225, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €6,246. So while the total price is high, it reflects the exceptional size.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 38% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not uncommon for a pre-war building. You may want to budget for potential improvements.
Reviews are mixed. One resident says it is 'a very safe neighbourhood', while another mentions 'dangerous incidents, like shootings, but that's almost never and hardly anyone actually experiences them'. The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 521, but without context it is hard to compare. Overall, the neighbourhood feels safe to many.
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, so not within walking distance for most. However, residents mention that metro and tram stops are nearby, and there are always shared bikes and scooters available. The area is well-connected for getting around Rotterdam.
The building dates from 1897, so it is over 125 years old. In the neighbourhood, 59% of homes were built before 1945, so this is typical for the area. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should expect that a home of this age may require maintenance.
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. The nearest primary school, Nieuwe Park Rozenburgschool, is just 98 metres away. A child daycare centre is also close by, at 0.4 km. Secondary education is available within 0.9 km. The neighbourhood is well-equipped for families.
