Oud Mathenesse, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 45 m² apartment on Hogenbanweg is a practical home in a lively part of Rotterdam. At €240,000, the asking price is below the neighbourhood average of €274,900, which makes sense given the smaller floor area, 34% less than the typical 68 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in size and price, so this one sits at the more affordable end.
Oud Mathenesse is a dense urban area with a mix of pre-war and post-war housing. Residents have mixed feelings: one says the neighbourhood is deteriorating, pointing to broken glass and parking issues near a senior flat. Another, who has lived here for 34 years, says they still feel safe. A third resident echoes that: 'I 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.' Based on seven reviews, the average score is 6.42. The area has a high proportion of single-person households and a young population, with many residents aged 25,45. For more, see the neighbourhood Oud Mathenesse.
For daily shopping, Dirk is just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Auris Hildernisseschool (special education) is a five-minute walk, and Basisschool de Peperklip is about five minutes further. The municipality Rotterdam offers extensive amenities, but in this part of town you'll find a park or garden within a couple of streets away, and a restaurant is on your doorstep.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Rotterdam Estate Makelaardij and also appears on Pararius. The energy label is F, which means heating costs are likely to be high, something to factor into your budget.

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 Hogenbanweg 130C, Rotterdam
The asking price is below the neighbourhood average of €274,900 and the median of €265,000. However, the flat is 45 m², which is 34% smaller than the average 68 m² in Oud Mathenesse. Per square metre, the price works out at about €5,333, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,177 per m². So while the total price is lower, you're paying a premium per square metre.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means the home is likely to have high heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 58.2% of homes have a label D or lower, so an F label is not unusual for a pre-war building like this one (built in 1940). You should expect higher energy bills compared to a more modern home.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km away, about a 15-minute walk. For longer journeys, Rotterdam Centraal is a short train ride away.
The neighbourhood has a young population: 40% are aged 25,45, and 36% are 45 or older. Many households are single-person (about 67%), and only 22% have children. Based on resident reviews, opinions are divided, some feel the area is deteriorating, while others feel safe and have lived there for decades.
In the most recent data, there were 587 reported crimes in the neighbourhood. Resident reviews give an average score of 6.42 out of 10.
