Auto-translated to English by AIA very unfriendly and unsafe environment for both adults and children. Every month there is a woman/girl raped, people shooting wildly, or a burglary. It is not recommended to go outside after dark. Neighbours don't greet each other and there is always tension between neighbours. Children who tear up flowers/plants. Parents who say nothing about it.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis part little nuisance Neighbours looking out for each other Still togetherness and cosiness
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy neighbourhood that's quickly deteriorating, but people still look out for each other. It's a working-class neighbourhood. A shame it's so dirty, etc. But I'm staying. The municipality should deploy more litter pickers, etc., and possibly increase fines for littering.

About Hogehof 42, Rotterdam
The asking price of €315,000 is 19% below the average asking price in Vreewijk (€387,369) and also below the median of €349,000. Given that the home is smaller than average (66 m² vs 91 m²), the price per m² works out at about €4,773, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,521 per m². So it's priced keenly overall, but the smaller size means you're paying a bit more per square metre.
