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 Doedesstraat 41B02, Rotterdam
The asking price of €450,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €419,500, but the apartment has an excellent A energy label, which is rare for a 1912 building. The average price per m² in Nieuwe Westen is €4,725, so at €5,921 per m², this home is priced at a premium. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the energy efficiency and the compact size.
Nieuwe Westen is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. It's diverse, with many nationalities and a young population. Residents appreciate the many activities and educational options, but some mention noise and litter. The neighbourhood scores 7.2 out of 10 from five reviews. It's a lively, mixed area with both positives and drawbacks.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk or a short cycle. This makes it reasonably accessible for commuting, though not on your doorstep.
Albert Heijn is just around the corner at 323 m, Dirk is 713 m away, and there's another Albert Heijn at 804 m. Lidl and Jumbo are also within a ten-minute walk. So daily shopping is very convenient.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Emmausschool at 117 m, IKC de Ark at 325 m, and De van Oldenbarneveltschool at 326 m. For secondary education, Rotterdam Designcollege is 394 m away. So families with children have good options nearby.
The apartment has an energy label A, which is very efficient. This is notable for a building from 1912, as most pre-war homes have lower labels. In Nieuwe Westen, only 27.4% of homes have label A, so this one stands out. You can expect lower heating costs compared to older, unrenovated homes.
Residents have mixed views on safety. One says it feels safe during the day but less so in the evening, while another mentions issues with litter and noise. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 1,224, but without context, it's hard to compare. It's best to visit at different times to get a feel.
