nice place, plenty of entertainment
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has a lot of potential to live comfortably, but due to frequent nuisance from confused people on the street, drug deals, drug use, and even sleepers in the porches in winter, I often feel unsafe. Some neighbourhood police officers are fantastic, but I once spoke to an officer at a municipal meeting who didn't take this seriously at all ("you're a strong girl", "it's the landlord's responsibility", "just finish your studies quickly and move out"), which doesn't help that feeling of safety. I also find the traffic on my street heavy and especially fast and reckless. After moves, the houses often get students or shared households with young people (like mine). That's a shame; the neighbourhood gets many temporary residents with little connection to the area. I hope the Affordable Rent Act will restore that in the long run. I do see elsewhere in the area that there are social housing units, making the composition of residents mixed, and I think that's healthy. In the mid-range segment, however, I miss affordable homes. The residents of the area have a core of neighbours who have good contact. Newsletters are sent out and events are organised. As a tenant, I only heard about this after a few years. Furthermore, the location is close to shops on the Nieuwe Binnenweg, the area is well connected by metro, tram and bus, I live close to the museums, restaurants in the city centre, and despite that it's quiet on my street in the evenings. I miss greenery in the city but find that there are more and more neighbourhood initiatives to green streets and redesigns where parking spaces make way for tree pits, etc. Very nice!

About Nieuwe Binnenweg 108-02R, Rotterdam
The asking price is 34% below the average asking price in the Oude Westen (€569,681), but the apartment is also 34% smaller than the neighbourhood average (76 m² vs 115 m²). Given the compact size and pre-war character, the price is in line with the market for a two-bedroom apartment in this area.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 35% of homes have label A and 26.7% have label A+, so this home is slightly less efficient than many nearby.
