Henegouwerlaan 26D
Oude Westen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodA spacious apartment in the heart of Rotterdam
This apartment on the Henegouwerlaan sits right in the thick of things, with the city's energy at your doorstep. At 208 m², it's a generous size for an apartment, and the price of €675,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, partly because of the extra space. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its sheer floor area.
The Oude Westen neighbourhood
The Oude Westen is a lively, central area with a mix of students, families and long-term residents. Based on two reviews, opinions are mixed: one resident calls it a "perfect spot" with "plenty of entertainment", while another notes "lots of potential but lots of nuisance and often unsafe", mentioning drug use and heavy traffic. The same resident appreciates the location near shops, museums and restaurants, and says the street is quiet in the evenings. The neighbourhood has a high address density (6709 addresses per km²) and a young population, with many single-person households. For more on the area, see the Oude Westen neighbourhood.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy: an Aldi is just around the corner, and a Dirk is a couple of streets away. For schools, the Vrije School Rotterdam West and the Rotterdamse Montessorischool are both a five-minute walk, while secondary schools like Wolfert RISS Senior Campus are also within walking distance. The neighbourhood is well connected by public transport, with a train station a ten-minute walk away. For more about the wider area, check the municipality of Rotterdam.

Frequently asked questions
About Henegouwerlaan 26D, Rotterdam
Is €675,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price is 17% above the neighbourhood average of €577,128, but the apartment is also 81% larger than the average (208 m² vs 115 m²). So the price per square metre is roughly in line with the market. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. That's an official registration from EP-Online. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have a better label (over 70% are A or B), so you can expect higher energy costs compared to those. The label itself doesn't tell you exactly what needs improvement, but it's something to factor into your budget.
How safe is the Oude Westen neighbourhood?
Residents have mixed feelings. One review mentions feeling unsafe due to drug deals and nuisance, while another calls it a "perfect spot". The neighbourhood has a high number of reported crimes (1175 total), but it's a central urban area with a lot of activity. It's best to visit at different times to get your own impression.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
The Oude Westen has a mix of residents, but only about 13% of households have children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the area has parks and playgrounds nearby. However, the high density and urban feel may not suit everyone. Some residents note that after moves, homes often go to students, so the population is quite transient.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
An Aldi is 348 metres away, and a Dirk is 412 metres, both within a five-minute walk. There's also an Albert Heijn about 550 metres away. So daily groceries are very convenient.
What public transport options are available?
The neighbourhood is well connected. The nearest train station is 1.4 km away (about a 15-minute walk), and there are tram and bus stops nearby. The area is also close to the city centre, so many destinations are within walking or cycling distance.
Is the apartment suitable for a couple or a family?
With 208 m² of floor area, the apartment is very spacious. Given the size, it could work for a couple or a family, depending on the room division.
Experiences from Oude Westen
How residents experience their neighbourhood
nice place, plenty of entertainment
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has a lot of potential to live comfortably, but due to frequent nuisance from confused people on the street, drug deals, drug use, and even sleepers in the porches in winter, I often feel unsafe. Some neighbourhood police officers are fantastic, but I once spoke to an officer at a municipal meeting who didn't take this seriously at all ("you're a strong girl", "it's the landlord's responsibility", "just finish your studies quickly and move out"), which doesn't help that feeling of safety. I also find the traffic on my street heavy and especially fast and reckless. After moves, the houses often get students or shared households with young people (like mine). That's a shame; the neighbourhood gets many temporary residents with little connection to the area. I hope the Affordable Rent Act will restore that in the long run. I do see elsewhere in the area that there are social housing units, making the composition of residents mixed, and I think that's healthy. In the mid-range segment, however, I miss affordable homes. The residents of the area have a core of neighbours who have good contact. Newsletters are sent out and events are organised. As a tenant, I only heard about this after a few years. Furthermore, the location is close to shops on the Nieuwe Binnenweg, the area is well connected by metro, tram and bus, I live close to the museums, restaurants in the city centre, and despite that it's quiet on my street in the evenings. I miss greenery in the city but find that there are more and more neighbourhood initiatives to green streets and redesigns where parking spaces make way for tree pits, etc. Very nice!

Lived there during my student days
Auto-translated to English by AII am looking for a home
Auto-translated to English by AICool
Auto-translated to English by AII live diagonally opposite a coffee shop. When the coffee shop is closed, dealing continues cheerfully in a parking lot that I look out onto from my apartment. I really don't find that pleasant or safe. And my porch is used as a toilet by homeless people, which is also not very pleasant. This is because close to where I live there is a Salvation Army shelter.

Auto-translated to English by AIA lot of vagrants. Police are quick to respond, but it's a shame it's necessary.

Experiences from Rotterdam
How residents experience their municipality
Het is net een klein dorpje, je kunt overal fijn heen fietsen of lopen. Er is ook openbaar vervoer wat het nog makkelijker maakt om ergens heen te gaan. Niet al te ver van het centrum af.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for a few years. There's litter on the ground. But the supermarkets are good in the neighbourhood and there's a community centre. Nice!
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood. The airport is nearby, but you don't hear a thing. Zestienhovenpark is great for walking or jogging. Many families with children live here. There is a lot of greenery and you see many birds. The best neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIed432f34g
Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I was born here so I grew up with the neighbourhood as it is now.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe facilities and the apartment itself are nice. But around the building there is a lot of rubbish on the street and junkies.
