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.

About Torenlaan 49, Rotterdam
The asking price of €645,000 is about 50% above the average asking price in Overschie, which is €430,939. However, this house has a larger plot (206 m²) and more floor area (126 m²) than many homes in the neighbourhood. The price per m² is roughly €5,119, compared to the neighbourhood average of €4,241. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the pre-war character.
The energy label is C, which is average for a house built in 1928. In Overschie, about 25% of homes have label C, while 39% have a lower label (D or worse). A C label means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. Upgrading insulation or installing solar panels could improve the label and reduce bills.
