Spangen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Piet Paaltjensplein sits in Spangen, a neighbourhood in Rotterdam West that's known for its mix of pre-war and newer housing. The home itself was built in 2004, so it's a good deal younger than many of the surrounding properties. At €375,000 for 84 m², the price is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €352,444, but that reflects the modern build and energy label A. For context, apartments in Rotterdam in this price bracket are often older or less efficient.
Spangen has a lively, urban feel with a diverse mix of residents. One resident who's lived here for 12 years says: "we almost never had any problems." Another notes: "It's a bit of a chaotic neighbourhood but I'm happy with my little house." A third review mentions enjoying the area but points out issues with litter and groups of youngsters on scooters. Based on five reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.25 out of 10. The area is densely populated, with many families and young adults. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Spangen.
For your morning bread, Lidl is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Dirk are a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including de Nicolaasschool and Prinses Margrietschool. A park or garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner. The municipality Rotterdam offers plenty of amenities within easy reach.

I've lived here for 12 years and we almost never had any problems
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in Rotterdam West my whole life. Since 2013 I've been living in Spangen with my children. We really enjoy living here. I have a nice house with a large garden and I have nice neighbours. What I do find a shame is the amount of litter and rubbish and large groups of youngsters on the playgrounds for the children with scooters and fatbikes who also leave all their rubbish behind and 'chase away' the children. There is a lot to do in the neighbourhood for children and the metro/tram station is within walking distance. There should be more greenery and more facilities for older youth. More bins on the street instead of just waste containers.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived my whole life (45 years) in Rotterdam West and wouldn't want to leave. Personally, I've had no negative experiences in the neighbourhood. Of course, the area was worse in my youth, but even then I had a good time. It's better now, but I do notice that a lot is deteriorating again. In terms of litter on the streets and young people looking for trouble. That's a shame, because it's so nice here. There should be more greenery and more neighbourhood watch, and I think more facilities for young people. Because the neighbourhood and playground work hardly does anything anymore, there's too little for young people aged about 12 to 20 to do, and they end up hanging around and doing silly things out of boredom. A kind of community centre or youth club where they can 'hang out' and do things together could provide a solution. For the younger children, there's plenty to do here, but the mess left by the older youth is not nice. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied here.

About Piet Paaltjensplein 27, Rotterdam
The asking price of €375,000 is slightly above the average sale price in Spangen (€341,476) and the median asking price (€365,000). However, this apartment is modern (2004) with an A energy label, which is rare in a neighbourhood where 69% of homes were built before 1945. The price per m² (€4,464) is also above the neighbourhood average of €4,018, so you're paying a premium for the newer build and efficiency.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means heating and electricity costs are likely to be low compared to older homes. In Spangen, 40% of homes have label A, so this apartment is in line with the best-performing properties in the area.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bus ride. The neighbourhood does have tram and metro stops within walking distance, as noted by residents.
Residents describe Spangen as a mixed, lively area. One long-term resident says they've had almost no problems in 12 years. Another mentions enjoying the cosy feel but notes some nuisance from litter and groups of youngsters. The neighbourhood has many families and young adults, with a mix of cultures.
In Spangen, sold homes took an average of 57 days to sell, which is about two months. This suggests a reasonably active market, but not extremely fast. With 36 apartments currently for sale, buyers have some choice.
