Oud Mathenesse, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment from 1954 has an energy label D and is priced at €269,500. That's roughly in line with the neighbourhood average for apartments, where the median price is €265,000. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one sits at a typical price point for its size.
Oud Mathenesse is a densely populated area (over 3,600 addresses per km²) with mostly pre-1970 housing. Residents have mixed feelings: one says "Still feel safe" and another "I still feel safe we live here," but a third describes the neighbourhood as "deteriorating," citing broken glass, double-parked cars, and loose paving stones. The neighbourhood Oud Mathenesse has a high proportion of single-person households (about 40%) and a relatively young population, with many residents aged 25-45.
A Dirk supermarket is just around the corner, and a Lidl is a couple of streets away. For primary education, Basisschool de Peperklip is a five-minute walk, and OBS Mathenesse is a bit further. The municipality Rotterdam offers extensive amenities, but the nearest train station is a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Dupree Makelaars Rotterdam.

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 AIHave lived here for 34 years, happy to live here
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

Oud Mathenesse is a dense, urban area with many pre-war buildings. Residents have mixed views: some feel safe and have lived there for decades, while others note issues like litter and parking problems. The area has a young population and many singles.
A Dirk supermarket is just 72 metres away, and a Lidl is 173 metres away, so daily shopping is very convenient.
Basisschool de Peperklip (305 m) and OBS Mathenesse (412 m) are both within walking distance. For secondary education, Lentiz | LIFE College is 542 metres away.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km away, about a ten-minute walk.
The apartment has energy label D, which is common in this area (58% of homes have label D or lower). It means moderate energy efficiency, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home.
