It's all fine but nothing special. There is some nuisance from youths, and often litter on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in Coolhaven! Opposite a school, which is really nice because it always gives a cosy atmosphere and I don't really have much trouble with noise. I live in a studio and prefer neighbours and a green view; at first there was quite a lot of construction but now that has also decreased a lot.

About Dunantstraat 16A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €299,000 is 35% below the average asking price in Delfshaven (€461,878) and also below the median of €399,000. However, the flat is smaller than average (57 m² vs 107 m²). The price per m² works out at about €5,246, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,599 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium per square metre.
The flat has energy label A, which is very efficient. This means your heating costs will be relatively low compared to older properties. In Delfshaven, 25% of homes have label A, so this is a good find for an apartment built in 1929.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away, which is about a ten-minute cycle or a short bus ride. The area is well served by trams and buses, but for national rail connections you'll need to head to Rotterdam Central or Schiedam Centrum.
Delfshaven had 559 reported crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a dense urban area. One resident mentions "some nuisance from youths" and litter. However, another resident feels safe and enjoys the lively atmosphere. As with any city neighbourhood, it's worth visiting at different times to get a feel for it.
