Oud Mathenesse, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Italiaansestraat is a generous home in a lively part of Rotterdam. With 132 m² of living space, it is considerably larger than the average home in the neighbourhood. The price of €495,000 is on the high side compared to the local market, where the average asking price is €274,900, but the extra space and modern energy label A explain the difference. For more context, see apartments in Rotterdam.
Oud Mathenesse is a densely urban area with a mix of residents. Based on seven reviews, opinions vary. One resident who has lived here for 34 years says: 'Happy to live here.' Another, who has been here since 1997, notes: 'Of course the neighbourhood is going downhill but as long as we feel safe we will stay living here.' A third review mentions issues with glass on the street and double parking, but also praises the senior flat complex. The area has many single-person households and a relatively young population. For more on the area, see the Oud Mathenesse neighbourhood.
For daily groceries, Dirk is just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including OBS Mathenesse and Auris Hildernisseschool. The nearest secondary school, Experience College, is about a ten-minute walk. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a train station is a ten-minute walk away. For more about the wider area, see the municipality of 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 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 Italiaansestraat 41, Rotterdam
The asking price of €495,000 is well above the neighbourhood average of €274,900, but this apartment is also much larger than average (132 m² vs 68 m²) and has an energy label A, which is rare in Oud Mathenesse where most homes have lower labels. The price per square metre works out at about €3,750, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,177 per m², so you are getting more space for your money.
The energy label is A, which means the home is very energy-efficient. You can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes in the area. In Oud Mathenesse, only about 11% of homes have label A or better, so this is a strong point.
Residents have mixed feelings. One long-term resident says they still feel safe after 34 years, while another mentions issues like glass on the street and double parking. The overall review score is 6.42 out of 10, based on seven reviews. The neighbourhood has a relatively high number of reported incidents (587 total), but many residents appreciate the community.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: OBS Mathenesse (about 300 m), Auris Hildernisseschool (about 340 m), and Prinses Margrietschool (about 600 m). For secondary education, Experience College is about 570 m away. The nearest secondary school overall is 2.1 km away.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km from the home, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to other parts of Rotterdam or further afield.
Dirk is just around the corner at about 290 m, and Lidl is about 490 m away. For more options, SPAR is about 1.1 km. Daily shopping is easy on foot.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. However, a park or public garden is only 200 m away.
The floor area of 132 m² suggests it could have multiple bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan or contact the agent for the exact layout.
