Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood gets a 7.02 out of 10. One resident calls it a "perfect spot", adding that it is a "nice place, plenty of entertainment". Another is more mixed: "The neighbourhood has a lot of potential to live comfortably, but due to frequent nuisance from confused people on the street, drug deals, drug use, and even sleepers in the porches in winter, I often feel unsafe." They also note that "the location is close to shops on the Nieuwe Binnenweg, the area is well connected by metro, tram and bus", and that "despite that it's quiet on my street in the evenings". The mix of residents is diverse, with many single-person households and a fair share of families. For more on the area, see the Oude Westen neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions
About Breitnerstraat 29C, Rotterdam

The rent of €2,450 is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €2,585 and the median of €2,500. With 100 m², it is also larger than the average rental here, which is 80 m². So in terms of price per square metre, you are getting more space for your money compared with many other listings in the Oude Westen.
How does the size of this apartment compare with others in the area?
At 100 m², this apartment is 25% larger than the average rental in the Oude Westen, which comes in at 80 m². That extra space is noticeable, especially if you are used to city-centre proportions. It means more room for a proper living area, a separate kitchen, and perhaps a home office.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration, recorded in the national energy label database. A C label is in the middle of the scale, so you can expect moderate energy costs, but the label itself does not tell you about the condition of the building or its installations.

There are several schools within a short walk. KC Het Oude Westen, a primary school, is 264 metres away, and Schakelschool de Gaffel is 274 metres. For secondary education, Het Praktijkcollege Centrum is 285 metres off, and the Erasmiaans Gymnasium is about 407 metres away. Good options for families.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 1.1 kilometres from the apartment. That is a manageable walk or a short cycle, and it gives you a direct link to other parts of the city and beyond. The neighbourhood is also well served by metro, tram and bus, as residents note.
What is the neighbourhood like in terms of safety and noise?
Residents have mixed views. One review mentions "frequent nuisance from confused people on the street, drug deals, drug use", and another notes that "the traffic on my street is heavy and especially fast and reckless". However, the same resident also says "it's quiet on my street in the evenings" and appreciates the proximity to shops and transport.
