A city-centre apartment with energy label B
This apartment on Karel Doormanstraat sits right in the thick of Rotterdam's city centre. At 74 m² it was a compact but well-kept home, built in 1992 and with a B energy label, so heating costs should be manageable. The last known rent of €2,000 was in line with the market for apartments in Rotterdam. This home has not been online since 28 July 2026.
The Cool neighbourhood
Cool is the beating heart of Rotterdam, dense, urban and lively. With an address density of 6,905 addresses per km², it's one of the most intensely urban areas in the country. Most households are single-person (2,560 out of 3,565), and the population skews young: nearly half are between 25 and 45. Residents' reviews are mixed: one says simply "Cool", while another notes "A lot of vagrants. Police are quick to respond, but it's a shame it's necessary." Based on four reviews, the average score is 6.25. For more on the area, see the Cool neighbourhood.
