Oud Mathenesse, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Brigantijnstraat is a practical home in a lively part of Rotterdam. At 50 m² it's compact, but the layout makes good use of space. The price of €200,000 is noticeably below the neighbourhood average of €274,900, which makes it a keen option for a first home or an investment. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size.

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 Brigantijnstraat 57D, Rotterdam
The asking price of €200,000 is 27% below the average asking price in Oud Mathenesse (€274,900). However, the apartment is also smaller than average (50 m² vs 68 m²). Given the energy label E and the 1950 construction, the price seems in line with the market for a compact flat in this neighbourhood.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Oud Mathenesse, 58.2% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is common for the area.
Oud Mathenesse is a densely populated urban area with a mix of residents. Reviews are mixed: some long-term residents feel safe and happy, while others mention issues like litter and parking problems. The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses and is very urban.
The Dirk supermarket is about 300 metres away, and a Lidl is around 500 metres. The nearest primary school, OBS Mathenesse, is just 65 metres from the apartment. Several other schools are within walking distance.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk.
With a price of €200,000 and a compact 50 m² floor area, this apartment could be a good entry-level home. The energy label E means higher running costs, so factor that into your budget. The neighbourhood is urban with mixed reviews, so it's worth visiting to see if it suits you.
