Spangen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Mathenesserweg has a lived-in feel and sits in a neighbourhood that's full of life. At €330,000 for 71 m², the price is in line with the market, especially given the energy label G, something to factor in. Compared to other apartments in Rotterdam, this one stands out for its pre-war character.

I have a nice house with a large garden and I have nice neighbours.' The same resident points out issues with litter and groups of youngsters on scooters. Based on five reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.25 out of 10. It's a densely populated area with many families and young adults. For more context, see the Spangen neighbourhood.

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 AIIt's a bit of a chaotic neighbourhood but I'm happy with my little house
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 Mathenesserweg 173A, Rotterdam
At €330,000 for 71 m², the price per m² is about €4,648, which is above the neighbourhood average of €3,984 per m². However, the median price in Spangen is €365,000, so this home is below that. Given the energy label G, which is less efficient than most homes in the area, the price seems in line with the market, not particularly keen or high.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label. In Spangen, most homes for sale have labels A or B, so this one stands out. It's worth budgeting for potential upgrades like insulation or double glazing.
Spangen has a mix of families and singles, with about 1,725 households with children. Residents mention it's a good place for kids, with playgrounds and schools nearby. However, some note issues with litter and groups of youngsters on scooters. Overall, it's a lively area with a strong sense of community.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. Tram and metro stops are within walking distance, as residents mention. The area is well-connected for getting around Rotterdam.
Homes sold in Spangen spent an average of 57 days on the market, which is about two months. This suggests a balanced market, not too fast, not too slow. With 36 homes currently for sale, there is a reasonable choice.
Based on resident reviews, neighbours are generally friendly. One resident says: 'I have nice neighbours.' Another mentions living there for 12 years without problems. The area has a mix of ages and backgrounds, typical for a dense urban neighbourhood.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space. The neighbourhood has a park just around the corner for public green space.
