Fluitstraat 7C, Rotterdam
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 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 Fluitstraat 7C, Rotterdam
The asking price is 20% below the average asking price in Oud Mathenesse (€274,900) and also below the median of €265,000. Given the 53 m² floor area and E energy label, it's priced to sell quickly, similar homes in the area sell on average in 50 days.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 58.2% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
Residents have mixed feelings. One long-term resident says 'still feel safe', another says 'I still feel safe we live here'. However, a third review mentions broken glass, double parking and loose paving stones, especially on Franselaan. The neighbourhood recorded 587 total crimes, but no specific breakdown is given.
OBS Mathenesse is a five-minute walk away, and the Auris Hildernisseschool is also close. For secondary education, Experience College is about 500 metres away. There are 151 schools within 5 km, so plenty of choice.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes commuting to the city centre or other parts of the Randstad straightforward.
Dirk is just around the corner (325 m) and Lidl is a couple of streets away (437 m). For a wider selection, there are 73 supermarkets within 5 km.
