Bernardus Gewinstraat 17A

A compact flat in Rubroek, Rotterdam

This 50 m² apartment on Bernardus Gewinstraat sits in the lively Rubroek neighbourhood, part of Kralingen-Crooswijk. Built in 1941 and carrying an F energy label, it's a home with character but with higher heating costs to expect. At €315,000, the asking price is 18% below the neighbourhood average of €386,095, which makes it a keen entry point for a buyer looking at apartments in Rotterdam.

Rubroek: a mixed, urban neighbourhood

Rubroek is a dense, inner-city area with over 8,500 residents and a very high address density of 8,093 per km². Most households are single-person (around 60%), and the population is young, nearly 35% are between 25 and 45. One resident describes it as "Many cultures together" and says "good people get along well here", though they note some nuisance from youngsters with balloons and limited control over parking. The neighbourhood Rubroek is predominantly rental (83% of homes are rented), and the mix of ages and backgrounds gives it a vibrant, urban feel.

Daily life on the street

For groceries, Dirk is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools, Waalse School and OBS Crooswijk, are both within a five-minute walk. The nearest secondary school, Lyceum Kralingen, is about a ten-minute walk. A park or public garden is just around the corner, and the municipality Rotterdam offers all the cultural and transport links you'd expect from a major city.
