Cool is Rotterdam's central district, with 6,985 residents packed into a very high-density area (6,905 addresses per km²). It's a young crowd, nearly half the population is between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. One resident sums it up: "A lot of vagrants. Police are quick to respond, but it's a shame it's necessary." Another simply calls it "Cool". Based on four reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.25 out of 10. The neighbourhood Cool is undeniably lively, but it comes with urban challenges.
Your daily bread is just around the corner: Albert Heijn is 56 metres away, and there's an AH to go a couple of streets further. For school runs, the primary school Augustinus is a five-minute walk, and the Havo/vwo voor Muziek en Dans is even closer. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the city amenities you'd expect, restaurants, a library, and a park are all within walking distance.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Kolpa van der Hoek Makelaars Rotterdam and also appears on Funda and Pararius, so it's available through several channels.
