Oud Mathenesse, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 57 m² apartment on Doggerstraat sits in Oud Mathenesse, a neighbourhood with a strong urban feel. The asking price of €225,000 is 18% below the neighbourhood average of €274,900, making it a keenly priced entry into the Rotterdam market. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its value.
Oud Mathenesse is densely built and very urban, with over 3,600 addresses per km². Residents have mixed feelings: one says the neighbourhood is deteriorating, pointing to broken glass and double-parked cars, while another who has lived here for 34 years says they still feel safe. A third resident, here since 1997, acknowledges the decline but adds: "as long as we feel safe we will stay living here." The neighbourhood Oud Mathenesse is home to many single-person households and a relatively young population.
For your morning bread, Dirk is just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. OBS Mathenesse primary school is on your doorstep, and the Prinses Margrietschool is a five-minute walk. The municipality Rotterdam provides all the usual city amenities, with a park or public garden a couple of streets away.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Woonzicht Makelaars, Vastgoed Nederland and Funda.

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

About Doggerstraat 22C, Rotterdam
The asking price of €225,000 is 18% below the average asking price in Oud Mathenesse (€274,900) and also below the median of €265,000. Given the 57 m² floor area, that works out to about €3,947 per m², which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €4,177 per m². So it is priced keenly compared to other homes currently on the market in the area.
The home has energy label D. That is a middling score: heating and electricity costs will be moderate but not as low as with an A or B label. In Oud Mathenesse, over 58% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
