Liskwartier, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1935 apartment on Delfgaauwstraat sits in the Liskwartier, a neighbourhood that survived the bombing and still has its original streetscape. At 80 m² with a D energy label, it's a solid size for a flat of this era. The asking price of €435,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,228/m², but it's in line with the market for apartments in Rotterdam.
The neighbourhood Liskwartier is a diverse area with a mix of young professionals and families. One resident calls it "multicultural" and says "everyone feels at home and you can go anywhere." Another describes it as "up-and-coming, hip and lively," with "gorgeous streets and houses" and "lots of new hip spots, cosy eateries and good restaurants." A third review notes that "everything you need is in the neighbourhood: supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops, train and tram station," though they mention a lack of green space and some safety concerns. Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.72 out of 10. Most homes here were built before 1945, and the area is densely populated with a mix of singles and couples.
For your morning bread, SPAR express is just around the corner, and Hoogvliet, Dirk and Lidl are all a couple of streets away. IKC De Lis primary school is on your doorstep, and the Juliana van Stolbergschool is a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood has a lively street scene with restaurants and a park within walking distance. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the amenities of a major city, though the train station is a ten-minute cycle away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via MAARTENMakelaardij Rotterdam B.V. and also appears on Funda and Vastgoed Nederland, so it's available through several channels.

Everyone feels at home and you can go anywhere.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for about four years now and I think it's a nice area to live in. Actually, everything you need is in the neighbourhood: supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops, train and tram station. A bit more green would certainly be an addition, and it's also a shame that the metro is a bit of a bike ride away. Lately, I do notice more litter on the streets and more confused/addicted people on the streets, which gives a less safe feeling. I don't get harassed very often myself, but I wouldn't let children play/walk around here alone. In terms of green space, I would appreciate a nice park like in Blijdorp, but if extra trees are planted next to the busy roads, I think that would already help a lot.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe Listkwartier is a beautiful part of Rotterdam North, where most streets were not bombed. Gorgeous streets and houses, and the neighbourhood is truly up-and-coming. Lots of new hip spots, cosy eateries and good restaurants. In terms of safety, it's improving rapidly. Every now and then (too) fast-driving antisocial cars, but safety is getting better and better.

About Delfgaauwstraat 53B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €435,000 works out to about €5,438 per m², which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,228/m². However, the median price in Liskwartier is €489,000, so this flat is priced below the median. Given its 80 m² size and D energy label, the price is on the high side but not unreasonable for a pre-war apartment in an up-and-coming area.
The energy label is D, which is average for a flat of this age. In the neighbourhood, about 31% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical. A D label means moderate energy efficiency; heating costs will be noticeable but not extreme. You can expect to spend more on energy than in a modern home, but it's not the worst rating.
Residents have mixed views on safety. One review mentions "too fast-driving antisocial cars" but says safety is improving. Another notes "more litter on the streets and more confused/addicted people on the streets, which gives a less safe feeling," though they don't get harassed often.
