Oude Westen, Rotterdam
This two-bedroom apartment on the Nieuwe Binnenweg sits right in the thick of things in Rotterdam's Oude Westen. The listing does not state an energy label, so the rest of this page focuses on the street and the neighbourhood rather than the home's efficiency. At €1,995 per month, the rent sits 11% below the neighbourhood average of €2,245, which makes it keenly priced compared with other apartments in Rotterdam.
The Oude Westen neighbourhood is a dense, urban area with a strong mix of ages and household types. Based on two reviews, residents give it a 7.02 out of 10. One resident calls it a "perfect spot" with "plenty of entertainment." Another says it has "lots of potential" but mentions "frequent nuisance from confused people on the street, drug deals, drug use, and even sleepers in the porches in winter," which makes them "often feel unsafe." They also note heavy, fast traffic on their street. The same resident appreciates the "core of neighbours who have good contact" and the area's good connections by metro, tram and bus.
Daily errands are easy here. An Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, just 36 metres away, and a Coop is just around the corner. For schools, KC Het Oude Westen is a couple of streets away, and Schakelschool de Gaffel is nearby. The Erasmiaans Gymnasium, a secondary school, is a five-minute walk.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
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!

Lived there during my student days

Auto-translated to English by AICool
Auto-translated to English by AII live diagonally opposite a coffee shop. When the coffee shop is closed, dealing continues cheerfully in a parking lot that I look out onto from my apartment. I really don't find that pleasant or safe. And my porch is used as a toilet by homeless people, which is also not very pleasant. This is because close to where I live there is a Salvation Army shelter.

Auto-translated to English by AIA lot of vagrants. Police are quick to respond, but it's a shame it's necessary.

How residents experience their municipality
Het is net een klein dorpje, je kunt overal fijn heen fietsen of lopen. Er is ook openbaar vervoer wat het nog makkelijker maakt om ergens heen te gaan. Niet al te ver van het centrum af.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for a few years. There's litter on the ground. But the supermarkets are good in the neighbourhood and there's a community centre. Nice!
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood. The airport is nearby, but you don't hear a thing. Zestienhovenpark is great for walking or jogging. Many families with children live here. There is a lot of greenery and you see many birds. The best neighbourhood

Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I was born here so I grew up with the neighbourhood as it is now.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe facilities and the apartment itself are nice. But around the building there is a lot of rubbish on the street and junkies.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is and remains a village
