Kruisplein 694
Cool, Rotterdam
AreaA modern apartment in the heart of Rotterdam
This apartment on Kruisplein sits in the middle of Rotterdam's lively Cool neighbourhood, a stone's throw from the city's energy. Built in 2013, it's a contemporary home with an A energy label, so it's very efficient to run. At €2,650 per month, the rent sits well above the neighbourhood average of €1,995, which reflects the prime spot and the modern build. For context, that's a premium of about 33%, and the 63 m² floor area is 28% smaller than the local average of 88 m². If you're weighing up the cost, it's on the high side compared with other apartments in Rotterdam.
Life in Cool
Cool is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a real city pulse. Around 7,000 people live here, and it's a young crowd: nearly half of residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. It's a busy, compact area with a high address density, so you're never far from the action. Residents give it a mixed score of 6.25 out of 10 across four reviews. One resident simply says: "Cool." Another notes: "A lot of vagrants. Police are quick to respond, but it's a shame it's necessary." It's a neighbourhood with character, but not without its rough edges.
