Liskwartier, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on the Gordelweg sits in the lively Liskwartier, a neighbourhood that feels both urban and up-and-coming. At 55 m², it's compact but well laid out, with an energy label D, so heating costs are something to budget for. The asking price of €275,000 is notably keen compared to the neighbourhood average, partly because the home is smaller than many in the area. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size.
The Liskwartier is a pre-war neighbourhood with beautiful, intact streets, it escaped the bombing of 1940. Residents describe it as multicultural, up-and-coming, and lively. One resident says: "Everyone feels at home and you can go anywhere." Another notes: "Lots of new hip spots, cosy eateries and good restaurants." The neighbourhood is densely populated, with many young adults and singles, and a strong sense of urban energy. Based on three reviews, it scores a 7.7 out of 10. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Liskwartier.

Everyone feels at home and you can go anywhere.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for about four years now and I think it's a nice area to live in. Actually, everything you need is in the neighbourhood: supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops, train and tram station. A bit more green would certainly be an addition, and it's also a shame that the metro is a bit of a bike ride away. Lately, I do notice more litter on the streets and more confused/addicted people on the streets, which gives a less safe feeling. I don't get harassed very often myself, but I wouldn't let children play/walk around here alone. In terms of green space, I would appreciate a nice park like in Blijdorp, but if extra trees are planted next to the busy roads, I think that would already help a lot.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe Listkwartier is a beautiful part of Rotterdam North, where most streets were not bombed. Gorgeous streets and houses, and the neighbourhood is truly up-and-coming. Lots of new hip spots, cosy eateries and good restaurants. In terms of safety, it's improving rapidly. Every now and then (too) fast-driving antisocial cars, but safety is getting better and better.

About Gordelweg 65C, Rotterdam
The asking price of €275,000 is 46% below the average asking price in Liskwartier (€507,862). However, this apartment is also smaller than average (55 m² vs 100 m²). The price per square metre works out at €5,000, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €5,228 per m². So it's priced keenly for its size, reflecting the compact floor plan.
The energy label is D. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern, well-insulated home. In Liskwartier, about 31% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for a pre-war apartment.
Residents have mixed views. One long-term resident notes that safety is improving rapidly, though there are occasional issues with fast-driving cars. Another mentions more litter and some confused or addicted people on the streets, but says they don't get harassed often. The neighbourhood scores a 7.7 out of 10 overall from three reviews.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. The neighbourhood is very urban (address density 6,670 per km²), so public transport connections are generally good.
The nearest park or public garden is 0.4 km away, about a five-minute walk. Residents mention that more green space would be welcome, but the area does have some trees and small green spots. The larger Blijdorp park is a bit further, but not within walking distance for most.
The apartment has 55 m² of living space, built in 1937. The layout is not described in detail, but it's a first-floor apartment in a pre-war building. Energy label D suggests original single glazing or limited insulation. You'd need to view it to assess the condition and layout.
