This is a contemporary apartment on Boompjes, in the heart of Rotterdam. Built in 2021, it comes with an A energy label, so it is very efficient to run.

Life in Stadsdriehoek
Stadsdriehoek is the city centre district, and it is a busy, urban place to live. Based on three resident reviews, the area scores a 7.17 out of 10. One resident calls it an "Ideal location" and says they "lived there during my student days." Another review is more mixed, describing it as "A Pleasant Living Environment with Room for Improvement," noting that the community is friendly and that daily life is easy thanks to plenty of shops and amenities. A third resident raises concerns about safety near a coffee shop and a shelter, so it is not without its downsides. The population is largely young, with 45% aged between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. This is very much the Stadsdriehoek neighbourhood as a lively, central hub rather than a quiet suburb.
Daily life on the street
For daily errands, the SPAR is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. There are two primary schools within a short stroll: Willibrord and Jan Prins, with a third, Openbare Basisschool Het Landje, about a ten-minute walk. The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, which is handy for getting around. The area is densely populated and feels very urban, with a strong concentration of amenities nearby. All of this sits within the municipality of Rotterdam, where the city's full range of services and transport links are on your doorstep.
