Oud Mathenesse, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 51 m² apartment on Boeierstraat sits in a lively part of Rotterdam. Built in 1950, it has an E energy label, so heating costs are something to budget for. The asking price of €249,500 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €274,900, but the flat is smaller than typical homes here. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size.
Oud Mathenesse is a dense urban neighbourhood with a mix of ages and households. Most homes are flats, and the area feels busy, the address density is very high. Residents have mixed views: one says the neighbourhood is deteriorating, mentioning broken glass and double-parked cars, while another who has lived here for 34 years says they still feel safe. A third resident notes the area is going downhill but feels safe enough to stay. Based on seven reviews, the average score is 6.42. The neighbourhood Oud Mathenesse has a young population, with many singles and few families with children.
Daily shopping is easy: Dirk is on your doorstep, and Lidl is just around the corner. For school runs, Auris Hildernisseschool is a couple of streets away, and OBS Mathenesse is a five-minute walk. The municipality Rotterdam offers plenty of urban amenities, with a park or garden just around the corner and a restaurant within a couple of streets away.

Satisfactory · 7 residents
Lots of shards of glass lying on the street near a senior flat where many residents depend on a mobility scooter or wheelchair and are housebound if they get a flat tyre from riding over glass. Cars parked double, especially on Franselaan, or even crazier, parked diagonally on the pavement and cycle path to unload at a Polish supermarket. Speaking to the driver doesn't help because they only speak Polish, as it's a van or truck with Polish plates that keep doing this. Loose paving stones, especially on Franselaan; if you ride over them with a mobility scooter, you're terrified. Life-threatening situation in some places on that street, also for elderly people with limited mobility, because the tiles are simply not laid properly. The flat in the senior complex is excellent, certainly for someone with limited mobility who depends on aids.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 34 years, happy to live here
Auto-translated to English by AII have lived here since 1997 and of course the neighbourhood is going downhill but as long as we feel safe we will stay living here.
Auto-translated to English by AII think there is potential in this neighbourhood, there is a warm community but hygiene and aesthetics are really not nice and it is no longer a neighbourhood to live in. I wish more value was placed on the aesthetics of the houses, streets, environment and surroundings.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived there since I was 20 and as a girl living in that place is not nice, I've had to call the police more often because men wanted sex and shouted sexual things

About Boeierstraat 17D, Rotterdam
The asking price is €249,500, which is below the neighbourhood average of €274,900 but above the median of €265,000. However, this flat is 51 m², while the average sold flat in Oud Mathenesse is 68 m². So per square metre, the price is about €4,892, compared to the neighbourhood average of €4,177. That makes it relatively expensive for its size.
The energy label is E, which is below average. In Oud Mathenesse, 58.2% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area. An E label means higher energy costs, so you should expect a significant heating bill, especially in winter.
Residents have mixed feelings. One review mentions broken glass and double-parked cars, but another says they still feel safe after 34 years. A third notes the area is going downhill but feels safe enough to stay. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 587, but without context it's hard to compare.
