I live in a noisy house myself and have a lot of noise from the neighbours. Which is why I'm looking for another house. But apart from that, it's a nice neighbourhood here. With many nationalities living together in one neighbourhood. There are many activities for all ages. And there are many educational locations in my neighbourhood. But in my flat, there are also people who unfortunately just throw rubbish down from their window. As a result, there are food scraps behind the houses near the storage units and on the roof of the storage units.

About Burgemeester Meineszlaan 38A01, Rotterdam
The asking price of €375,000 is 27% below the average asking price in Nieuwe Westen (€514,034) and also below the median of €419,500. However, the apartment is smaller than average (77 m² vs 111 m²). Given the lower price per m² compared to the neighbourhood average, it appears keenly priced for a pre-war flat in this area.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In Nieuwe Westen, about 29% of homes have label C, while 27% have label A. Label C means the home is reasonably efficient but not as low-cost as a modern A-label property. You can expect moderate heating bills.
Residents have mixed views. One says it's safe during the day but less so in the evening, citing asylum seekers as a concern. Another mentions noise from neighbours and littering. The overall review score is 7.2 out of 10. Crime statistics show 1,224 total offences in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bus ride. Given the high urbanity level, you'll find frequent connections to the city centre.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: IKC de Ark (213 m), Emmausschool (316 m), and De Vierambacht (324 m). For secondary education, Rotterdam Designcollege is 346 m away. All are within a five-minute walk, making school runs easy.
The building was constructed in 1910, typical for this neighbourhood where 93% of homes were built before 1945. The energy label C suggests some modernisation has been done, but you should expect original features and potentially higher maintenance than a newer build.
Nieuwe Westen has a mix of households: about 33% are families with children, 23% are couples without children, and the rest are singles. There are activities for all ages, as one resident notes. Schools and parks are close by, but the area is very urban and some residents mention safety concerns in the evening.
