Oud Charlois, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1939 apartment on Jaersveltstraat is a solid piece of Rotterdam history.

At €259,000, the asking price sits 21% below the neighbourhood average of €326,555, a keen entry point for a home of this size. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its value.

Many junkies and psychiatric people. Lots of shouting. Lots of rubbish. Poorly maintained. Positive: tram connection
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's not Charlois anymore. I've been harassed several times. Once I was even chased by a tinted person with a face mask while they haven't been worn for a long time. Then as a woman you feel very small. The school is lagging behind because too many children don't speak Dutch, including our children who suffer. Since the flat was renovated, everything has gone downhill. You can count the Dutch on one hand now, it used to be different. They make a mess of it and around the flat there are regularly those balloons, gas cylinders behind the lift, 30 or so. Accessibility is good, the only positive. I have no words for it, but still nothing is done about it.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe live on a nice street with friendly neighbours. Most people say hello on the street, which was different in the village where we used to live. Because this is a close-knit neighbourhood, it's nice and pleasant that people look out for each other. The butcher/supermarket around the corner is unfortunately gone, so we walk to the MCD. Perfectly doable. Public transport is also within walking distance. It's a shame that sometimes household items are left outside and that when bins are overflowing, rubbish is placed next to them. That's why hygiene scores a bit lower here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have seen and experienced nasty things here. More and more old Rotterdammers are dying and newcomers are replacing them, all kinds of newcomers. The neighbourhood is full of plastic and rubbish on the grass patches and people sometimes throw dirty nappies from balconies into the harbour. Painful to see but the Municipality of Rotterdam keeps it reasonably well maintained, though they could send litter pickers more often.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn my opinion and experience, I find Oud Charlois a pleasant and quiet neighbourhood. It feels like a village within a city. With lots of greenery, playgrounds. Centrally located, you can be in the city centre/Zuidplein/Feijenoord in 10 minutes. I wouldn't want to live in any other neighbourhood.

About Jaersveltstraat 14A, Rotterdam
The asking price is 21% below the average asking price in Oud Charlois (€326,555) and also below the median of €300,000. Given the 99 m² floor area, that works out to about €2,616 per m², compared to the neighbourhood average of €3,964 per m². So it's priced keenly, though the neighbourhood's mixed reviews may factor in.
The apartment has energy label C. That's a decent score for a 1939 building, it means the home is reasonably efficient, though not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.
The nearest train station is 4.9 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, the area has a tram connection according to residents, and the high density (3,525 addresses per km²) means bus and tram stops are likely nearby.
Reviews are mixed. One resident calls it "Cosy" and says "Great neighbourhood", while another mentions issues with junkies, shouting, and rubbish. A third review describes harassment and a decline since a flat renovation. The area has many single-person households and a young population.
The neighbourhood recorded 819 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a district of 14,120 residents. Some reviews mention feeling unsafe, especially at night. It's worth visiting at different times to get a feel for the area.
Obs Charlois is just around the corner (104 m), Wilhelminaschool is a couple of streets away (303 m), and Openbare Basisschool De Triangel is within a five-minute walk (485 m). For secondary education, there are special schools like Yulius Reijerwaard College nearby.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor space, typical for an apartment in a dense urban area.
