Delfshaven, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1939 apartment on Havenstraat sits in the lively Delfshaven area of Rotterdam. With 135 m² of living space, it is noticeably roomier than many homes in the neighbourhood. The energy label is D, so heating costs are something to budget for. At €565,000, the asking price is 22% above the local average of €461,878, which puts it on the high side, though the extra square metres partly explain that. For context, you can compare with other apartments in Rotterdam.
Delfshaven is a dense, very strongly urban area with over 5,000 addresses per km². It is home to many singles and young adults, and the streets have a lively, sometimes gritty feel. Based on two reviews, opinions vary: one resident calls it a "decent neighbourhood but nothing special" and mentions nuisance from youths and litter. Another says it is the "best fun neighbourhood!" and appreciates the cosy atmosphere from a nearby school and the green view. The overall score is 7.28 out of 10. For more on the area, see the municipality Rotterdam page.
For groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools within a couple of streets away, including Harbour IBSR Bilingual and KC De Vlinder. A park or public garden is a five-minute walk away, and the nearest train station is 3.3 km, so you will rely on tram or bus for longer journeys. The neighbourhood has a high number of reported crimes (559 total), which is something to be aware of.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including Delfshaven Makelaardij, Blijdorp Makelaardij, and on platforms like Funda and Pararius.

It's all fine but nothing special. There is some nuisance from youths, and often litter on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in Coolhaven! Opposite a school, which is really nice because it always gives a cosy atmosphere and I don't really have much trouble with noise. I live in a studio and prefer neighbours and a green view; at first there was quite a lot of construction but now that has also decreased a lot.

About Havenstraat 102, Rotterdam

It is worth factoring that into your monthly budget.
