A pre-war apartment in lively Liskwartier
This apartment on Delfgaauwstraat sits in the Liskwartier, a part of Rotterdam Noord that escaped the wartime bombing and kept its handsome pre-war streets. The area has a real neighbourhood feel, with a mix of ages and plenty going on. At €1,990 a month, the rent sat about 17% below the neighbourhood average of €2,398, which put it on the keen side for the area. For context, that average covers a range of apartments in Rotterdam, so this one comes in at the more accessible end. This home has not been online since 2 October 2026.
The Liskwartier through residents' eyes
Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a solid 7.72. One resident calls it "Multicultural," adding that "everyone feels at home and you can go anywhere." Another describes it as "Up-and-coming, hip and lively," noting "gorgeous streets and houses" and a place that is "truly up-and-coming" with "lots of new hip spots, cosy eateries and good restaurants." A third review, "Nice neighbourhood for young people," mentions that "everything you need is in the neighbourhood: supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops, train and tram station," though it also flags litter and a wish for more green. The CBS figures show a young, urban population, with many single-person households and a strong share of residents in their late twenties to mid-forties. That matches the lively, changing character residents describe in the Liskwartier neighbourhood.
Daily life on the street
For the everyday routine, the essentials are close at hand. A SPAR express is just around the corner, with Hoogvliet, Dirk and Lidl all a couple of streets away, so the weekly shop is a short walk. IKC De Lis primary school is on your doorstep, and the Juliana van Stolbergschool is a five-minute walk, which makes the school run easy. The nearest park or green space is a five-minute walk, and a restaurant is just around the corner for evenings out. The train station is a bit further, about a ten-minute walk, which is fine for occasional trips. All of this sits within the municipality of Rotterdam, a city that needs little introduction.
