About Schiedamseweg Beneden, Rotterdam
Why is the rent so much lower than the neighbourhood average?

The neighbourhood average is based on four rental listings, which are mostly whole properties, so the comparison reflects the difference between a room and a full dwelling.
What is the neighbourhood like to live in?
Residents are split in their reviews. Two long-term residents say they still feel safe and are happy living there, one since 1997. A third review describes the neighbourhood as deteriorating, mentioning broken glass near a senior flat and loose paving stones on Franselaan. The average review score is 6.42 out of 10, based on seven reviews.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is a Dirk at 466 metres, which is about a five-minute walk. A Lidl is at 657 metres, and an Albert Heijn is at 1,122 metres. For a room in a shared or student setting, having a supermarket within a few minutes' walk makes everyday shopping straightforward.

Experience College, a secondary school, is at 622 metres. There are 147 schools within five kilometres, so options are plentiful across the wider area.
Why are there no property details in this listing?
Kamernet has published only the street and price for this room.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 1.3 km from the street. That is roughly a fifteen-minute walk, or a short cycle if you prefer. The exact distance from the room itself may differ slightly because the listing does not include a house number.
