Cool is a dense, bustling part of Rotterdam with nearly 7,000 residents packed into a small area. Most households are singles (over 2,500), and the average household size is just 1.5. It's a young crowd, the largest age group is 25 to 45. Reviews are mixed: one resident simply says "Cool," while another notes "A lot of vagrants. Police are quick to respond, but it's a shame it's necessary." The overall score is 6.25 out of 10, based on four reviews. The neighbourhood Cool is undeniably central, but it comes with urban trade-offs.
For groceries, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and another is a couple of streets away. There's also an AH to go and a SPAR within a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: the Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging and Openbare Basisschool Het Landje are both about 500 metres away, and secondary options like Havo/vwo voor Muziek en Dans are similarly near. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Ooms Makelaars. It's available on multiple platforms, so you have a few ways to get in touch.
