Oud IJsselmonde
The Oud IJsselmonde neighbourhood has a single review, and it is glowing. One resident says: "A close-knit, safe neighbourhood, great for families." They add: "We've lived here for ten years and have always enjoyed it. Public transport connects to both Kralingse Zoom (bus) and Centraal (tram), and amenities are a five-minute bike ride away." The same resident notes the annual neighbourhood barbecues, Halloween and Christmas events, and that "if there's something to celebrate or someone is having a tough time, you notice the neighbourhood is there for you." They also mention it is quiet, with many trees and no litter on the street. The neighbourhood counts around 6,285 residents, with a mix of households, including many families.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the SPAR express is just around the corner, while Dirk is a couple of streets away. Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both a ten-minute walk. For schools, Meester Baars primary school is a couple of streets away, and Auris Taalfontein is just beyond that. The train station is 3.2 km away, so a bike ride rather than a stroll. The municipality of Rotterdam covers a wide area, and this part of it feels like its own little enclave, as the resident put it: "You don't notice that you live in 'Zuid' as it's known. Oud IJsselmonde is like a little island in that respect."
