A pre-war apartment on Kortekade
This apartment on Kortekade sits in the leafy, established part of Rotterdam known as Kralingen Oost. Built in 1934, it has the kind of characterful bones that pre-war buildings are known for, with a floor area of 81 m². At €3,245 per month, the rent is 37% above the neighbourhood average of €2,373, which puts it on the high side for the area. For context, apartments in Rotterdam in general vary widely in price, but this one is clearly positioned at the premium end.
The Kralingen Oost neighbourhood
Kralingen Oost is a mixed bag according to the three residents who reviewed it. One resident, who titled their review "Safe beautiful surroundings.", says: "It is a very safe neighbourhood. It is clean and beautiful with its nature and houses. The metro and tram are nearby and from there you can get anywhere really." Another, who grew up here, describes it as "a very nice, cosy neighbourhood, easily accessible by e.g. metro or tram", though they note that "there are often people trying to steal bikes" and that "there is a lot of litter, especially plastic." A third review is more critical, calling the atmosphere "Formal" and saying "No one here is social, always immediately aggressive and there is not enough green, everything is rubbish." The neighbourhood is home to around 8,600 people, with a high share of single-person households. The Kralingen Oost neighbourhood clearly has its admirers and its detractors, so it is worth weighing the positive and negative comments.
