Nieuwe Westen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1923 apartment on Beukelsdijk sits in the lively Nieuwe Westen neighbourhood, a stone's throw from the city's energy.

I live in a noisy house myself and have a lot of noise from the neighbours. Which is why I'm looking for another house. But apart from that, it's a nice neighbourhood here. With many nationalities living together in one neighbourhood. There are many activities for all ages. And there are many educational locations in my neighbourhood. But in my flat, there are also people who unfortunately just throw rubbish down from their window. As a result, there are food scraps behind the houses near the storage units and on the roof of the storage units.
