Cool, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1887 apartment on Mauritsstraat sits right in the thick of things in Cool, Rotterdam's bustling city centre. At 47 m² it's a compact home, but with an A energy label it's efficient to run. The asking price of €330,000 is notably lower than the neighbourhood average, partly because of the size, partly because of the market. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one is priced keenly for its location.
Cool is dense and urban, over 6,900 addresses per km², and home to nearly 7,000 people, mostly one-person households. It's a young area: half the residents are between 25 and 45. Reviews are mixed. One resident says: "A lot of vagrants. Police are quick to respond, but it's a shame it's necessary." Another simply calls it "Cool." Based on four reviews, the average score is 6.25. The neighbourhood Cool is lively, but not without its challenges.
For groceries you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner, and a Coop a couple of streets away. Primary schools are a five-minute walk, Schakelschool de Gaffel and Augustinus are both within 500 metres. For secondary education, Havo/vwo voor Muziek en Dans is also a short walk. The municipality Rotterdam keeps the city running, and the central station is a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via several channels, including 't GoeieHuys Kennis van Vastgoed B.V.
