Kralingen Oost, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1998-built terraced house on Waterloostraat sits in a leafy part of Rotterdam. With an energy label A and 96 m² of living space over three floors, it's a compact but efficient home. The asking price of €679,000 is exactly the neighbourhood median, so it's in line with the market, especially given that terraced houses in Rotterdam vary widely.
Kralingen Oost is a mixed bag according to residents. One says: "It is a very safe neighbourhood. It is clean and beautiful with its nature and houses." Another notes: "I grew up in Kralingen so from my perspective it's a very nice, cosy neighbourhood, easily accessible by e.g. metro or tram." But a third resident is less positive: "No one here is social, always immediately aggressive and there is not enough green, everything is rubbish." Based on three reviews, the average score is 6.75. The area is densely populated with many single-person households, and the neighbourhood Kralingen Oost has a high proportion of pre-war housing.
For daily shopping, you have a SPAR just around the corner, and both Albert Heijn and Aldi a couple of streets away. The Nieuwe Park Rozenburgschool is a five-minute walk for primary education, while the Vrije School Zuid-Holland for secondary is also within easy reach. The Kralingse Plas and its surrounding park are on your doorstep for a weekend stroll.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Makelaarskantoor Langejan and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

It is a very safe neighbourhood. It is clean and beautiful with its nature and houses. The metro and tram are nearby and from there you can get anywhere really. There are also always enough shared bikes/scooters in the area. For children, there are plenty of schools and sports facilities in the neighbourhood. A playground is not very close, only a big one on the Oudedijk. But there are enough small parks to play in, or on school playgrounds. There are plenty of nice little cafes and ice cream shops.

Auto-translated to English by AII grew up in Kralingen so from my perspective it's a very nice, cosy neighbourhood, easily accessible by e.g. metro or tram. Sometimes there are dangerous incidents, like shootings, but that's almost never and hardly anyone actually experiences them. There are often people trying to steal bikes. The hygiene is fine, it's not a dirty neighbourhood... but there is a lot of litter, especially plastic. I went to school here myself, so I think the education is very good; most people get an average or higher secondary school recommendation, so there's nothing to complain about. A pity is that there aren't that many facilities; of course there's the Kralingse Plas and the forest, but compared to e.g. Hillegersberg-Schiebroek it's a bit less entertaining because there are many cafes and shops there, and in Kralingen I miss that. But it remains my hometown!

About Waterloostraat 92, Rotterdam
The asking price matches the neighbourhood median exactly, so it's in line with what other homes in Kralingen Oost are listed for. However, the average sold price in the area is higher at €775,237, and homes here sell in about 51 days on average. The floor area is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 150 m², which partly explains the price.
This home has energy label A, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, only about 14% of homes have label A, and a further 3% have A+. So this home is well above average in terms of energy performance, meaning lower heating costs to expect.
Residents mention that the metro and tram are nearby, and the data shows the nearest train station is 2.7 km away. The area has a very high density of addresses (3172 per km²), so bus and tram stops are likely within walking distance.
The nearest primary school is Nieuwe Park Rozenburgschool, just 190 m away. Other primary options include Vrije School Vredehof and Montessorischool Kralingen, all within a ten-minute walk. For secondary education, the Vrije School Zuid-Holland is 378 m away.
Residents have mixed views. One says it's "very safe" and clean, while another mentions "dangerous incidents, like shootings, but that's almost never and hardly anyone actually experiences them." A third resident complains about aggressive behaviour. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 521, but without context it's hard to compare.
The Kralingse Plas and its surrounding park are just 0.3 km away, so you can be there in a few minutes. There are also small parks and school playgrounds in the area, though one resident notes that a large playground is on the Oudedijk, a bit further away.
