Oud Charlois, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 93 m² apartment on De Quackstraat in Oud Charlois, Rotterdam, was built in 1939 but has an energy label A, a rare combination that means low heating costs without losing the original character. The asking price of €324,000 is in line with the market: the average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €3,964, and this home works out at about €3,484 per m². For a sense of how this compares to other apartments in Rotterdam, the price is competitive.
Oud Charlois is a densely populated area with a very high urbanity score. It's a place where residents have very different experiences. One resident calls it "Ghetto" and mentions "many junkies and psychiatric people. Lots of shouting. Lots of rubbish." Another says it's "Poor Charlois" and describes being harassed and chased. But a third review is titled "Cosy" and simply says "Great neighbourhood." Based on six reviews, the average score is 6.91. The neighbourhood has a mix of households, with many singles and families with children. For more context, see the neighbourhood Oud Charlois page.
For your morning bread, MCD is just around the corner, and Aldi and PLUS are a ten-minute walk away. The Wilhelminaschool and Openbare Basisschool De Triangel are both on your doorstep, so school runs are easy. A park or garden is a couple of streets away, and there are restaurants and a library within walking distance. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the amenities of a big city, though the nearest train station is 4.9 km away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Schildtvoorde NVM Makelaardij, Funda, Huispedia and Pararius.

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 De Quackstraat 32C, Rotterdam
The asking price of €324,000 works out at about €3,484 per m², which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,964 per m². Given the energy label A and the 93 m² floor area, the price is in line with the market, not a bargain, but not overpriced either.
This apartment has energy label A, which is very efficient. For a pre-war building from 1939, that's unusual and means you can expect relatively low heating costs. In Oud Charlois, about 20.8% of homes have label A, so this one is above average.
