Spangen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1927 apartment in Spangen has a warm, pre-war feel with high ceilings and original details, and at 98 m² it's a generous size for the area. The asking price of €375,000 is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €352,444, but given the energy label B and the larger floor area, it's in line with what you'd expect for a well-maintained home here. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one stands out for its combination of space and efficiency.

Based on five reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.25 out of 10. It's densely populated (over 10,000 residents) and very urban, with a mix of families and singles. The neighbourhood Spangen has a young profile, with many residents under 45.
Your daily routine is well catered for: a Lidl is just around the corner, and Dirk and Albert Heijn are a couple of streets away. For school runs, De Korf Montessori is on your doorstep, and the Nicolaasschool is a five-minute walk.

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.
