A classic apartment on Oude Binnenweg
This apartment sits on one of Rotterdam's oldest streets, right in the heart of the city. The building dates from 1899, so there is plenty of character in the bones of the place. This listing did 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 €1,695 per month, the rent sat 26% below the neighbourhood average of €2,299, which made it a keen price for the area. For context, that is in line with what you would expect for apartments in Rotterdam. This home has not been online since 13 October 2026.
The Cool neighbourhood
Cool is a compact, busy part of Rotterdam Centrum, with a mix of historic streets and modern towers. The reviews here are mixed, based on four resident ratings. One resident simply says: "Cool." Another notes: "A lot of vagrants. Police are quick to respond, but it's a shame it's necessary." The average score sits at 6.25 out of 10. The area is dominated by single-person households, with 62% living alone, and the average household size is just 1.5 people. It is a young, transient part of the city, with nearly half of residents aged between 25 and 45. For a sense of how this fits into the wider picture, the Cool neighbourhood has its own page with more detail.
Life on the street
Daily life here is very walkable. For groceries, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a Coop and a SPAR a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging, is a five-minute walk, and there are several other options within a ten-minute walk. The train station is 1.2 kilometres away, so a commute is straightforward. The area is dense and lively, with plenty of cafes and shops along the nearby streets. The municipality of Rotterdam covers a large region, but this spot puts you right in the middle of the action.

Frequently asked questions
About Oude Binnenweg 105A01, Rotterdam
Why was there no energy label in this listing?
Rental Rotterdam had published the address, price and floor area, but the energy label had not been provided. This means the efficiency of the home is unknown, and you would need to look elsewhere for that information.
Was €1,695 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,695 was 26% below the neighbourhood average of €2,299 for rental homes. The average price per square metre in Cool was €27.52, while this apartment worked out at about €29.22 per square metre. Given the floor area of 58 m², the price was on the keen side compared with the wider market in this neighbourhood.
How does the floor area compare with other rentals in Cool?
At 58 m², this apartment was 45% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 105 m² for rental homes. That makes it a compact option, particularly for a single person or a couple. The average rental in Cool has around two rooms, so this size is typical for a smaller flat in the area.
What is the neighbourhood like to live in?
Cool is a dense, central part of Rotterdam with a young population. Around 62% of households are single people, and the average household size is 1.5. Resident reviews give the area a score of 6.25 out of 10, with one comment noting the presence of vagrants but also that police respond quickly.

The nearest primary school, Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging, is 453 metres away, and the train station is 1.2 kilometres from the apartment. Everything you need for a typical day is within a short walk.
What kind of building is this apartment in?
