Spangen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 98 m² apartment on Mathenesserweg brings together pre-war character and modern efficiency. The 1926 building has been upgraded to energy label A, so you get high ceilings and original details without the heating bills. At €400,000, the price sits above the neighbourhood average of €352,444, but the combination of size and energy performance makes it a keen option compared to other apartments in Rotterdam.
Spangen is a neighbourhood with a strong sense of community, though it has its rough edges. One resident who has lived here for 12 years says: 'We almost never had any problems.' Another, a parent, describes it as 'cosy' but notes litter and groups of youngsters on scooters. The neighbourhood is densely populated (over 10,000 residents) and very urban, with a mix of families and singles. The neighbourhood Spangen has a young profile, many residents are between 25 and 45, and the housing stock is mostly pre-war apartments.
For your morning bread, Lidl is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Dirk are a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a few minutes' walk: Mariaschool Taandersplein and De Korf Montessori. The nearest park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is also just around the corner. The municipality Rotterdam provides extensive amenities, though the train station is a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Van Kleef NVM Makelaars and also appears on Pararius, so it is available through several channels.

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.
