Overschie, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1930s terraced house on Zestienhovensekade sits in Overschie, a village-like pocket of Rotterdam. With 142 m² of living space and a 150 m² plot, it's noticeably roomier than the neighbourhood average. The price of €599,500 is on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Rotterdam, but the extra square metres and the pre-war character explain the premium.
Overschie feels more like a village than a city district. One resident describes it as a place where 'you see more attention for people on a tight budget' and highlights the many volunteer initiatives, from weekly jumble sales to free meals for the elderly. It's a close-knit community with a mix of families and older residents. Average incomes are in line with the rest of Rotterdam, and the area has a strong sense of togetherness.
For your morning bread, PLUS is just around the corner, and Dirk is a couple of streets away. Lidl and Albert Heijn are also within a ten-minute walk. There are several primary schools nearby: Openbare Daltonschool Overschie is a couple of streets away, Albert Schweitzer is a five-minute walk, and CBS De Regenboog is a bit further. The neighbourhood has a park or garden within a five-minute walk, and a GP surgery is just around the corner.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Prins Makelaardij, Funda and Vastgoed Nederland.

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.
