Groot IJsselmonde, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis mid-terrace house on Bommelerwaard 8 sits in Groot IJsselmonde, a neighbourhood that feels more like a village than a city district. With 111 m² of living space, a private garden and an A energy label, it's an efficient and comfortable home. The asking price of €475,000 is on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Rotterdam, but the size and energy performance help explain it.
Residents describe the area as a 'village within a big city'. One says: 'Cosy. I know many people in the neighbourhood.' Another adds: 'If necessary, people help each other. It's a village in a big city. If necessary, people do grocery shopping for each other.' The neighbourhood Groot IJsselmonde is densely populated with a mix of families and singles, and most homes are owner-occupied. It's a place where neighbours still look out for one another.
For your morning bread, Lidl is on your doorstep, and Albert Heijn and Jumbo are just around the corner. Primary school Kindcentrum IJsselmonde is a five-minute walk away, while secondary school Olympia College is a couple of streets further. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the amenities of a big city, but here you have a park or garden within a few minutes' walk.
At the time of writing the home is listed via several channels, including Van Wensen Makelaars b.v., Pararius and Funda.

Auto-translated to English by AIOud IJsselmonde is a green neighbourhood with many elderly residents. People are friendly and helpful. It's not really safe here, for example Park de Twee Heuvelen is not lit at all and many strange people walk around. There is a lot of litter in the area and municipal bins are rarely cleaned, which means quite a lot of pests are roaming around.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt can best be described as multicultural, where most people seem to keep to themselves. If you strike up a conversation, they are surprised. The sense of community could be much better, but they are working hard on that. I quite enjoy it here. In terms of safety, I often see police patrolling, two shopping centres within walking distance, bus and tram right outside. Hygiene leaves something to be desired, especially rubbish dumped on the street. The greenery is left wild, supposedly for the insects, but it's just pure cost-cutting on green maintenance.
