Cool: urban, dense, and full of contrasts

Cool is one of the most central neighbourhoods in Rotterdam, with a very high density of 6,905 addresses per km². The population is young, nearly half are between 25 and 45, and most households are single-person. One resident describes the area as "Cool" (score 4/10), while another notes: "A lot of vagrants. Police are quick to respond, but it's a shame it's necessary." Based on four reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.25 average. The neighbourhood Cool is a mixed urban environment where the energy of the city centre meets some of its rougher edges.
