Overschie, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1930s terraced house on Torenlaan has a warm, lived-in character. With 134 m² of floor space and a 148 m² plot, it is a roomy home in a part of Rotterdam that feels like a village. The price of €610,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but the home is also 30% larger than the typical Overschie property. For context, terraced houses in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size.
Overschie has a strong sense of togetherness. One resident says: "Overschie stirs something. You see more attention for people on a tight budget." They describe small-scale initiatives like a weekly jumble sale, free meals for the elderly, and a second-hand shop run by volunteers. The neighbourhood has 6,695 residents, with a mix of families and singles. Average incomes are in line with the city norm. For more on the area, see municipality Rotterdam.
For groceries, you have PLUS just around the corner and Dirk a couple of streets away. Lidl is a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: Openbare Daltonschool Overschie is a five-minute walk, and CBS De Regenboog is just beyond that. The park or public garden is on your doorstep, so there is green space nearby for a quick break.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Prins Makelaardij, Vastgoed Nederland and Funda.

I help Bibi Fazal from the Welschenflats. She tries to give people with a small budget little groceries that residents of Overschie donate. She selflessly offers help with clothing, organises things, and sometimes cooks. Makes Christmas and Easter more fun and works together with Plus, Zeeman, the Protestant church, etc. The help is small-scale but more and more people join in. I think that's a boost. And HWD every Tuesday jumble sale and singers performing and working together with other parties that do something social for the elderly and young people. Thea and Chris cook 100 meals every week for lonely vulnerable elderly people on Tuesdays, free of charge. And recently second-hand clothing and bric-a-brac knick-knacks on Thursday in a little shop at Ameide Street, 10 to 2. So many good initiatives done through cooperation by volunteers. Top people. And the volunteers of Schoon en Heel Roelland, from the board and Leefbaar, who focus on what can be improved.
