Prins Alexander

Home to nearly 98,000 people, Prins Alexander is Rotterdam's largest district, a post-war expanse of eight neighbourhoods including Ommoord, Zevenkamp and the newer Nesselande. Amenities are well covered at 7.5, yet housing (4.7) and safety (3.8) both sit below the national middle. The overall mark stops at 4.5: easy to reach and serviceable, but little here stands out from the crowd.
