Many junkies and psychiatric people. Lots of shouting. Lots of rubbish. Poorly maintained. Positive: tram connection
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's not Charlois anymore. I've been harassed several times. Once I was even chased by a tinted person with a face mask while they haven't been worn for a long time. Then as a woman you feel very small. The school is lagging behind because too many children don't speak Dutch, including our children who suffer. Since the flat was renovated, everything has gone downhill. You can count the Dutch on one hand now, it used to be different. They make a mess of it and around the flat there are regularly those balloons, gas cylinders behind the lift, 30 or so. Accessibility is good, the only positive. I have no words for it, but still nothing is done about it.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe live on a nice street with friendly neighbours. Most people say hello on the street, which was different in the village where we used to live. Because this is a close-knit neighbourhood, it's nice and pleasant that people look out for each other. The butcher/supermarket around the corner is unfortunately gone, so we walk to the MCD. Perfectly doable. Public transport is also within walking distance. It's a shame that sometimes household items are left outside and that when bins are overflowing, rubbish is placed next to them. That's why hygiene scores a bit lower here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have seen and experienced nasty things here. More and more old Rotterdammers are dying and newcomers are replacing them, all kinds of newcomers. The neighbourhood is full of plastic and rubbish on the grass patches and people sometimes throw dirty nappies from balconies into the harbour. Painful to see but the Municipality of Rotterdam keeps it reasonably well maintained, though they could send litter pickers more often.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn my opinion and experience, I find Oud Charlois a pleasant and quiet neighbourhood. It feels like a village within a city. With lots of greenery, playgrounds. Centrally located, you can be in the city centre/Zuidplein/Feijenoord in 10 minutes. I wouldn't want to live in any other neighbourhood.

About Boergoensestraat 122B, Rotterdam
The asking price is 15% above the neighbourhood average of €326,555, and the flat is 29% larger than the typical 86 m² in Oud Charlois. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €303,150, so the price is on the high side. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the pre-war character.
The energy label is D, which is average for a pre-war flat. It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, about 35% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
The nearest tram stop is within walking distance, and the area is well-connected by tram lines. The train station is 4.9 km away, so for national rail connections you would need a bus or bike to the station. The high density of addresses (3,525 per km²) means frequent public transport options.
The total number of crimes reported in the area is 819, which is relatively high given the population. Resident reviews mention issues with junkies, litter and anti-social behaviour. One review says they were harassed and chased. However, another resident calls it a "great neighbourhood", so experiences vary.
Yes, several primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Obs Charlois (288 m), Wilhelminaschool (327 m) and basisschool Wereldwijs (329 m). The secondary school Hugo de Groot is 490 m away. The area has many schools, but one review notes that some schools struggle with language barriers.
Oud Charlois has a young population, with many residents aged 25-45. About 32% of homes are owner-occupied, and the average household size is 1.9. The area attracts a mix of singles and couples, and the pre-war flats often appeal to those who appreciate character and space over modern finishes.
