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 Galjootstraat 12D, Rotterdam
The asking price is 18% below the average asking price in Oud Mathenesse (€274,900) and also below the median of €265,000. However, the flat is smaller than average (49 m² vs 68 m²) and has an energy label G, which means higher energy costs. Compared to similar-sized flats in the area, the price per m² is about €4,592, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,177 per m².
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. In the neighbourhood, 58.2% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but you should budget for significant energy bills.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km away, about a ten-minute walk.
Resident reviews are mixed. One long-term resident says they feel safe, while another mentions issues like broken glass on streets and double-parked cars.
