Cool, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 50 m² apartment on Karel Doormanstraat sits right in the thick of things in Cool, one of Rotterdam's most central neighbourhoods. With an energy label C and a price of €300,000, it's a notably affordable entry into the city centre, the asking price is 45% below the neighbourhood average of €546,233. That's partly because the floor area is half the local average, but for someone who wants to live in the middle of the action without breaking the bank, it's a keenly priced option. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in size and price.
Cool is the beating heart of Rotterdam, think high streets, nightlife, and a constant buzz. With 6,985 residents packed into a very dense area (6,905 addresses per km²), it's about as urban as it gets. Most households are single-person (2,560 out of 4,040), and the average household size is just 1.5. Reviews from residents paint a mixed picture: 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 neighbourhood scores a 6.25 out of 10. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Cool.
Your morning bread run is a two-minute walk to the Albert Heijn, with another Albert Heijn just 151 metres away. For a quick lunch, AH to go is 278 metres. Schools are also close: the Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging (primary) is 508 metres, and Havo/vwo voor Muziek en Dans (secondary) is 485 metres. A park or garden is 300 metres away, and a restaurant is practically on your doorstep. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the urban amenities you'd expect.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via two channels: 't Spui Makelaardij and 't Spui Makelaardij B.V. on Funda.
