A spacious rental on Kruiskade
This apartment on Kruiskade sits in the heart of Rotterdam, a lively part of the city centre. The listing did not state an energy label, so the rest of this page focuses on the street and the neighbourhood rather than the home itself. At 126 m², it is a generous size for a city-centre rental. The last known rent of €1,675 per month sat well below the neighbourhood average, which made it a keen option compared with other rentals in the area. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price, but this one stood out for its combination of space and cost. This home has not been online since 4 November 2026.

Based on four reviews, the overall score is 6.25 out of 10. The area is known for its nightlife and cultural venues, and the Cool neighbourhood has a distinct urban energy that suits those who enjoy being in the thick of things.
Daily life on the street
For everyday errands, you are well covered. An Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and another is a couple of streets away, so picking up groceries is quick. For schools, there is a secondary school for music and dance on your doorstep, and a primary school about a ten-minute walk away. The central station is roughly a ten-minute walk, which makes commuting straightforward. The municipality of Rotterdam offers a dense network of amenities, and this part of the city is particularly well served for shopping, dining and transport.
