Oud Mathenesse, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 51 m² apartment on Engelsestraat sits in Oud Mathenesse, a neighbourhood with a strong urban feel. The home dates from 1938 and has energy label C. At €250,000, the asking price is below the neighbourhood average of €274,900, which makes sense given the smaller floor area, 25% less than the typical 68 m² in the area. For context, the price per m² here is in line with what you'd expect for apartments in Rotterdam.
Oud Mathenesse is a dense, inner-city area with a high population turnover. Based on seven resident reviews, the average score is 6.42. One resident who has lived here for 34 years says: 'Still feel safe.' Another, who has been here since 1997, notes: 'I still feel safe we live here.' But a third review is more critical: 'Lots of shards of glass lying on the street near a senior flat… Cars parked double… Loose paving stones… Life-threatening situation in some places.' The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households (around 2,540) and a young population, with many residents aged 25,45. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Oud Mathenesse.
For groceries, Dirk is just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Basisschool de Peperklip is a five-minute walk, and OBS Mathenesse is similarly close. The neighbourhood is very urban, with a high density of addresses, so shops, restaurants and a park are all nearby. The municipality Rotterdam offers a wide range of amenities across the city.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including Zuidstad Makelaars, Funda and Vastgoed Nederland.

Satisfactory · 7 residents
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 AIHave lived here for 34 years, happy to live here
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 Engelsestraat 130B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €250,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €274,900 and the median of €265,000. However, the flat is smaller than average (51 m² vs 68 m²), so the price per m² is roughly in line with the market. Homes in Oud Mathenesse sell on average within 50 days, so it's not an exceptionally fast or slow market.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war flat. In the neighbourhood, about 27% of homes have label C, while 58% have a lower rating (D or below). A C label means reasonable energy efficiency, but heating costs will be higher than in a modern home.
Resident reviews are mixed. Some feel safe and have lived there for decades, while others mention issues like broken glass, double parking and loose paving stones. The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 587, but without context it's hard to compare. It's best to visit at different times to get a feel for the area.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km away, about a 15-minute walk. The high address density (3,680 per km²) suggests good public transport links.

Oud Mathenesse has a young population: about 40% of residents are aged 25,45. There are many single-person households (2,540 out of 4,250 households). Only 35% of homes are owner-occupied, and the area is very urban with a high density of addresses.
