Oosterwater

Oosterwater is a residential neighborhood located in the municipality of Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands. It is situated in the northeastern part of the city, bordering the Alexanderpolder and the district of Kralingen-West. The area is characterized by a mix of apartment buildings and some single-family homes, with several green spaces and parks integrated into the urban fabric.

The development of Oosterwater largely took place in the latter half of the 20th century, as part of Rotterdam's post-war expansion and urban planning efforts. The neighborhood was designed to provide housing and amenities for a growing population. Its location offers good accessibility to the city center via public transport, including tram and metro lines, and is also well-connected by road networks.

Oosterwater is served by local facilities such as schools, shops, and recreational areas. The nearby Plaswijckpark, a family amusement park, is a popular attraction for residents of Oosterwater and the wider Rotterdam area. The neighborhood's infrastructure has been subject to ongoing maintenance and renewal projects to ensure its continued livability and functionality. As with many urban districts, Oosterwater aims to balance residential needs with urban development and environmental considerations.
