I've lived here for 12 years and we almost never had any problems
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in Rotterdam West my whole life. Since 2013 I've been living in Spangen with my children. We really enjoy living here. I have a nice house with a large garden and I have nice neighbours. What I do find a shame is the amount of litter and rubbish and large groups of youngsters on the playgrounds for the children with scooters and fatbikes who also leave all their rubbish behind and 'chase away' the children. There is a lot to do in the neighbourhood for children and the metro/tram station is within walking distance. There should be more greenery and more facilities for older youth. More bins on the street instead of just waste containers.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived my whole life (45 years) in Rotterdam West and wouldn't want to leave. Personally, I've had no negative experiences in the neighbourhood. Of course, the area was worse in my youth, but even then I had a good time. It's better now, but I do notice that a lot is deteriorating again. In terms of litter on the streets and young people looking for trouble. That's a shame, because it's so nice here. There should be more greenery and more neighbourhood watch, and I think more facilities for young people. Because the neighbourhood and playground work hardly does anything anymore, there's too little for young people aged about 12 to 20 to do, and they end up hanging around and doing silly things out of boredom. A kind of community centre or youth club where they can 'hang out' and do things together could provide a solution. For the younger children, there's plenty to do here, but the mess left by the older youth is not nice. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied here.

About Mathenesserdijk 133B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €400,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €352,444 and the median of €365,000. However, this apartment is larger (96 m²) than the average (88 m²) and has a pre-war character. The price per m² works out to about €4,167, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,018. So it's on the high side, but not out of line for a well-sized apartment in Spangen.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. It means the home has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but you can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, 40% of homes have label A, while 23.3% have label C, so this is fairly typical.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bus/cycle ride. Tram and metro stops are closer, within walking distance, making public transport accessible.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. The Mariaschool Taandersplein is just 43 metres away, De Korf Montessori is 273 metres, and OBS Kasteel Spangen is 384 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.3 km away.
Spangen has a mixed reputation. The total number of crimes reported is 640, which is relatively high for a neighbourhood of this size. However, resident reviews are varied: one long-term resident says they've had almost no problems, while another mentions nuisance from litter and groups of youngsters. It's a lively urban area with both positives and drawbacks.
This is an apartment built in 1924, so it has pre-war features like high ceilings and sturdy construction. In the neighbourhood, 69.4% of homes were built before 1945, so this is very typical for Spangen.
