Oud Mathenesse is a dense urban neighbourhood with a mix of pre-war and mid-century housing. It has a high address density of 3,680 per km², so it feels busy. The population is diverse, with many single-person households and a relatively young age profile. Based on three reviews, residents have mixed feelings. One resident says: "Have lived here for 34 years, happy to live here." Another notes: "I 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." A third review mentions issues with glass on the street and double parking. For more, see the Oud Mathenesse neighbourhood.
For daily shopping, Dirk is just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Auris Hildernisseschool is a five-minute walk, OBS Mathenesse is about the same, and Basisschool de Peperklip is also nearby. The area has a park or public garden on your doorstep, and a GP surgery is a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk. For broader context, see the municipality of Rotterdam.

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 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
