Lots of rubbish." A third review notes that "since the flat was renovated, everything has gone downhill" and mentions feeling unsafe. The neighbourhood Oud Charlois has a high density of 3,525 addresses per km², and most homes are pre-war (65%). It's a young area, with many single-person households and a lively, sometimes challenging street scene.

Many junkies and psychiatric people. Lots of shouting. Lots of rubbish. Poorly maintained. Positive: tram connection
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's not Charlois anymore. I've been harassed several times. Once I was even chased by a tinted person with a face mask while they haven't been worn for a long time. Then as a woman you feel very small. The school is lagging behind because too many children don't speak Dutch, including our children who suffer. Since the flat was renovated, everything has gone downhill. You can count the Dutch on one hand now, it used to be different. They make a mess of it and around the flat there are regularly those balloons, gas cylinders behind the lift, 30 or so. Accessibility is good, the only positive. I have no words for it, but still nothing is done about it.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe live on a nice street with friendly neighbours. Most people say hello on the street, which was different in the village where we used to live. Because this is a close-knit neighbourhood, it's nice and pleasant that people look out for each other. The butcher/supermarket around the corner is unfortunately gone, so we walk to the MCD. Perfectly doable. Public transport is also within walking distance. It's a shame that sometimes household items are left outside and that when bins are overflowing, rubbish is placed next to them. That's why hygiene scores a bit lower here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have seen and experienced nasty things here. More and more old Rotterdammers are dying and newcomers are replacing them, all kinds of newcomers. The neighbourhood is full of plastic and rubbish on the grass patches and people sometimes throw dirty nappies from balconies into the harbour. Painful to see but the Municipality of Rotterdam keeps it reasonably well maintained, though they could send litter pickers more often.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn my opinion and experience, I find Oud Charlois a pleasant and quiet neighbourhood. It feels like a village within a city. With lots of greenery, playgrounds. Centrally located, you can be in the city centre/Zuidplein/Feijenoord in 10 minutes. I wouldn't want to live in any other neighbourhood.

About Kwartelstraat 5B, Rotterdam
The asking price is 16% below the average asking price in Oud Charlois (€326,555) and also below the median of €300,000. Given the 65 m² floor area and energy label B, it appears priced for the area. However, the neighbourhood's mixed reviews and higher crime rate (819 incidents) may factor into the valuation.
The apartment has energy label B, which is above average for Oud Charlois (where only 20.8% of homes have label A or better). Label B means the home is reasonably efficient, so you can expect moderate energy costs without major upgrades needed.
The nearest train station is 4.9 km away, so commuting by train requires a bus or bike ride. However, the area has good tram connections (as noted by residents) and a high density of addresses, meaning bus stops are likely within walking distance.
Resident reviews are mixed. One calls it a "Great neighbourhood", while others mention issues with noise, rubbish, and feeling unsafe. The area has many single-person households and a young population, with a high turnover of residents.
The neighbourhood recorded 819 total crimes, which is relatively high for a district of 14,120 residents. Some reviews mention harassment and drug-related activity. It's worth visiting at different times to get a feel for the area.
Ibn i-Sina primary school is just 83 metres away, and Hugo de Groot secondary school is 135 metres. Several other primary and secondary schools are within a ten-minute walk, making it convenient for families.
