Oud Charlois, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Fuutstraat in Oud Charlois is a compact home with an E energy label, meaning heating costs will be noticeable. At €250,000, the asking price is 23% below the neighbourhood average of €326,555, which makes it a keen option for a starter. For context, apartments in Rotterdam in this price range are rare.
Oud Charlois is a densely populated area with a mix of pre-war housing and post-war flats. Based on six reviews, residents give it a 6.9 out of 10.

A third review describes a decline since a flat renovation, with litter and antisocial behaviour. The neighbourhood Oud Charlois has a high proportion of single-person households and a young population.
For daily shopping, Aldi is a couple of streets away, and PLUS is just around the corner. Primary school De Kameleon is a five-minute walk, and secondary school Hugo de Groot is even closer.

Many junkies and psychiatric people. Lots of shouting. Lots of rubbish. Poorly maintained. Positive: tram connection
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's not Charlois anymore. I've been harassed several times. Once I was even chased by a tinted person with a face mask while they haven't been worn for a long time. Then as a woman you feel very small. The school is lagging behind because too many children don't speak Dutch, including our children who suffer. Since the flat was renovated, everything has gone downhill. You can count the Dutch on one hand now, it used to be different. They make a mess of it and around the flat there are regularly those balloons, gas cylinders behind the lift, 30 or so. Accessibility is good, the only positive. I have no words for it, but still nothing is done about it.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe live on a nice street with friendly neighbours. Most people say hello on the street, which was different in the village where we used to live. Because this is a close-knit neighbourhood, it's nice and pleasant that people look out for each other. The butcher/supermarket around the corner is unfortunately gone, so we walk to the MCD. Perfectly doable. Public transport is also within walking distance. It's a shame that sometimes household items are left outside and that when bins are overflowing, rubbish is placed next to them. That's why hygiene scores a bit lower here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have seen and experienced nasty things here. More and more old Rotterdammers are dying and newcomers are replacing them, all kinds of newcomers. The neighbourhood is full of plastic and rubbish on the grass patches and people sometimes throw dirty nappies from balconies into the harbour. Painful to see but the Municipality of Rotterdam keeps it reasonably well maintained, though they could send litter pickers more often.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn my opinion and experience, I find Oud Charlois a pleasant and quiet neighbourhood. It feels like a village within a city. With lots of greenery, playgrounds. Centrally located, you can be in the city centre/Zuidplein/Feijenoord in 10 minutes. I wouldn't want to live in any other neighbourhood.

About Fuutstraat 2C, Rotterdam
The asking price of €250,000 is 23% below the average asking price in Oud Charlois (€326,555) and also below the median of €300,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (61 m² vs 86 m²) and has an E energy label, which may affect running costs. Given the lower price per m² (€4,098 vs neighbourhood average €3,964), it is priced keenly for its size.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood where 40% of homes have label A or B. An E label means higher energy costs for heating and electricity, so you should expect a noticeable utility bill.
Oud Charlois is a very urban area (density 3,525 addresses per km²) with a young population. Resident reviews are mixed: some mention nuisance from rubbish and antisocial behaviour, while others find it cosy. The area has good tram connections but the nearest train station is 4.9 km away.
