Overschie
Overschie has a real community feel, and the one review we have reflects that warmly. One resident says: "Overschie stirs something. You see more attention for people on a tight budget." They describe small-scale help with groceries, clothing and cooking, plus a weekly jumble sale and volunteers who cook 100 meals every Tuesday for lonely, vulnerable elderly people. The review also mentions second-hand clothing and bric-a-brac on Thursdays at a little shop on Ameide Street. It is a neighbourhood where volunteers cooperate across churches, shops and local groups to support both the elderly and the young. The population is mixed, with a good share of families and older residents, and average household sizes. This is the municipality of Rotterdam at its most neighbourly.
Life on the street
Daily life here is well served. For groceries, PLUS is just around the corner, with Dirk a short walk further and Lidl a couple of streets away. For school runs, CBS De Regenboog is a five-minute walk, Openbare Daltonschool Overschie is a little further, and Albert Schweitzer is within a ten-minute walk. A park or green space is on your doorstep, and the GP practice is a couple of streets away. The train station is about 3.3 km off, so commuting takes a bit of planning. It is a practical, self-contained part of Rotterdam where the essentials are close at hand.
