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 Molièreweg 635, Rotterdam
The asking price of €289,000 is 30% below the average asking price in Lombardijen (€413,958) and also below the median of €299,250. Given the small floor area (71 m²) and energy label G, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a fixer-upper in this neighbourhood. Homes in Lombardijen sell on average within 56 days, so there is some demand.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. You would likely need to invest in insulation, double glazing, and possibly a new heating system to improve efficiency. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, with over half of homes rated D or lower.

One says it's 'completely quiet', another calls it a 'decent neighbourhood with everything at hand such as shops, hospital, public transport, etc.' It's a family-friendly area with a high density of addresses, typical of urban Rotterdam.
