Very good · 1 resident
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 neighbourhood feels safe for a family with two girls who grew up here / came home late, etc. Also during their student days, coming and going from the city. There are annual neighbourhood barbecues, Halloween, Christmas, New Year's, etc. If there's something to celebrate or someone is having a tough time, you notice the neighbourhood is there for you; there's always a card in the mailbox. Furthermore, it's quiet and not noisy, lovely to sit in the garden. You don't notice that you live in 'Zuid' as it's known. Oud IJsselmonde is like a little island in that respect. There's no litter on our street and there are many trees. Unfortunately, no big park, but cross the bridge and you're at the Kralingse Plas. I would recommend our area to anyone!

About Benedenrijweg 171, Rotterdam
The asking price of €300,000 is 41% below the neighbourhood average of €507,391, which makes it keenly priced. However, the home is smaller than average (60 m² vs 117 m²) and dates from 1868. Given the energy label B and the plot size, it represents a budget-friendly option in Oud IJsselmonde.
Oud IJsselmonde is described by a resident as a close-knit, safe neighbourhood great for families. It has annual community events and a quiet, tree-lined street. The area feels separate from the rest of Rotterdam-Zuid, with a village-like atmosphere. There are many families and a mix of ages.
The nearest train station is 3.1 km away. That's about a ten-minute bike ride or a short bus trip. The resident review mentions good public transport connections to Kralingse Zoom and Centraal.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. Basisschool PCB De Parel is about 800 m away, and RK De Regenboog is around 900 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 2.1 km away.
The home has energy label B, which is good for a house built in 1868. It means the property is reasonably energy-efficient, with lower heating costs compared to older homes with poorer labels. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label A, so this is slightly above average for its age.
The plot size is 94 m², but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden. However, the resident review mentions enjoying the garden, so it is likely there is outdoor space.
