Lombardijen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis home sits in a quiet residential street, with a lively neighbourhood feel just around the corner. At €360,000, the asking price is on the high side compared to the median of €299,250 in Lombardijen, but it reflects the larger-than-average floor area of 94 m² and a generous 179 m² plot. For context, the average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €3,688, so this home is priced slightly above that benchmark. If you're looking at terraced houses in Rotterdam, this one stands out for its outdoor space.
Lombardijen scores a 6.72 out of 10 from 16 reviews. One resident calls it "completely quiet," while another describes it as a "decent neighbourhood with everything at hand such as shops, hospital, public transport, etc." A third review notes it's "lively" with the same amenities. The area is densely populated (2,655 addresses per km²) and very urban, with a mix of families and singles. Most homes were built between 1945 and 1970, and over half have an energy label D or lower. The neighbourhood Lombardijen is well-established and practical.
For your morning bread, Lidl and Jumbo are both just around the corner, about a five-minute walk away. There are two primary schools within a couple of streets: Basisschool Het Open Venster and De Catamaran. A GP practice is on your doorstep, and the nearest park or public garden is just 0.3 km away. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the urban amenities you'd expect, with a train station a ten-minute walk away.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that so much rubbish is thrown outside the bins in the neighbourhood, and that bulky waste is not reported by residents, resulting in a lot of litter and vermin.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, Lombardijen has deteriorated significantly, especially in the last 10 years. You can see it visibly becoming impoverished, which is such a shame for such a beautiful neighbourhood that always had a reputation as a nice, clean, tidy neighbourhood. Unfortunately, both the residents and certainly the municipality of Rotterdam contribute to this. Safety is hard to find, drug nuisance, nuisance at the underground containers where all household items are just dumped. Rubbish on the street, which a number of residents try to keep up with by regularly picking it up, otherwise we see the rats and mice dancing merrily around the containers. And this is just a small impression of the waste pit of Rotterdam. The municipality must stop cutting costs and handing out fewer bonuses to the higher-ups, use money for the neighbourhoods and ensure that it becomes liveable again for the real Rotterdammers.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood but there could be improvements like more bins and more cleaning of the rubbish on the street.

About Fontenellestraat 7, Rotterdam
The asking price of €360,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €299,250, but this home is larger (94 m²) than the average sold property (112 m² in the neighbourhood, though that includes all types). The price per m² works out to about €3,830, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €3,688. Given the 179 m² plot and the fact that similar homes in Lombardijen sell within a median of 56 days, the price is on the high side but not unreasonable for a house with outdoor space.
The energy label is D, which is common for a 1960s home. In Lombardijen, over half of homes (52.7%) have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area. A D label means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. It's worth checking the specific insulation and heating system when you view the property.
Lombardijen has a mix of households: about 2,455 households with children and 3,575 single-person households. The area is quiet according to residents, with good amenities like shops, a hospital, and public transport. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Basisschool Het Open Venster (211 m) and De Catamaran (331 m). The neighbourhood feels safe and practical for daily life.
The nearest train station is 1.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The area is very urban (address density 2,655 per km²), so public transport is generally frequent. For longer journeys, Rotterdam Centraal is a short train ride away.
A 179 m² plot is generous for a terraced house in Lombardijen, where the average sold home has 112 m² of floor area (plot sizes aren't directly compared, but this plot is larger than typical for the area). It gives you a private outdoor space, which is a rare find in such a dense urban neighbourhood. The garden is not explicitly mentioned in the listing, but the plot size suggests there is outdoor space.
In the past year, homes in Lombardijen sold with a median listing time of 56 days. That's about two months, which is fairly standard for the Rotterdam market. This home has been listed at €360,000, which is above the median sold price of €329,070, so it may take a bit longer to find a buyer unless the price is negotiated.
