Carnisse, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 91 m² apartment on Pleinweg sits in the heart of Carnisse, a neighbourhood in Rotterdam-Zuid that has seen plenty of change over the decades. The home dates from 1939 and has an energy label D, so heating costs are something to keep an eye on. With a price of €250,000, it is priced slightly below the neighbourhood average of €260,453, and the floor area is a generous 34% larger than the typical 68 m² in the area, making it a keen option compared to other apartments in Rotterdam.
Carnisse is a lively, mixed neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. One resident who has lived here for 62 years says: "I still feel it is safe and familiar. Over the years I have seen many changes; more culture and diversity have been added, which greatly benefits the neighbourhood." Another resident calls it a "very cosy neighbourhood" where "you know everyone and if something is wrong, you are always helped." The neighbourhood Carnisse is densely populated, over 11,600 residents, and mostly consists of flats (96% of homes). Many households are single-person, and the area is very urban, with a high density of addresses.
For your daily shopping, PLUS is just around the corner, and Aldi is a couple of streets away. Dirk and Albert Heijn are within a ten-minute walk. There are several primary schools nearby: CBS De Klaver Carnisse and CBS Elout van Soeterwoude are both a five-minute walk away. The municipality Rotterdam offers plenty of green space too, Zuiderpark is a couple of streets away, perfect for a stroll.

I was born here in 1962, my parents lived in Nootdorp, also known as Brabantse dorp, where Zuidplein now stands. I have lived here for 62 years and still feel it is safe and familiar. Over the years I have seen many changes; more culture and diversity have been added, which greatly benefits the neighbourhood. Also, with the arrival of housing in the area, there has been more attention for the residents. Now I see the neighbourhood becoming more beautiful again because of much new construction, the renovated Zuidplein and the renewed bus station, making it easier for everyone to reach. Zuiderpark has become a beautiful place. It is wonderful to see how much has changed over all these years. As for hygiene, some improvement is needed, but this is largely up to the residents themselves; we must do this together to get a cleaner neighbourhood. Despite my concerns about hygiene, I will never leave; this is my home.
Auto-translated to English by AII was born here in 1962, over the years a lot has changed, more community centres have been added where residents can go daily so they are not alone. What I like about the neighbourhood is that you know everyone and if something is wrong, you are always helped. It would be nice if there could be more social housing, there are too few homes for young people, causing them to have to live at home longer.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe Carnissen neighbourhood is a very quiet area, but lately a lot of things have been happening, like recently a house caught fire. I happened to live right next to that house and my house almost caught fire too. I think the neighbourhood should be safer because there are also a lot of young children.
Auto-translated to English by AIRotterdam Zuid is always portrayed as some dangerous neighbourhood, but I strongly disagree. I've been living here for a year and a half now, my boyfriend even longer, and I have never felt unsafe. Yes, of course things happen, but you don't get involved. And that happens everywhere. I came from a quiet village and was afraid it would be a big transition, but now, a year and a half later, I'm very happy I live here. We have a nice balcony overlooking a long street and we recognise all the dogs in the neighbourhood because we see them out walking with their owners every day. The only downside I can think of is that there is not enough space to dispose of your waste, so a lot of rubbish and other things are left next to the bins, and then the birds tear it apart, everything ends up everywhere, and no one cleans it up.
Auto-translated to English by AIAffordable neighbourhood with decent amenities. The area could be a bit cleaner and more pleasant.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe price you pay to live here is proportionate to what you get; you don't pay much but you do live in a decent house. People here just aren't very connected to the neighbourhood, everyone lives their own life and leaves each other alone. Some streets could do with a makeover.

About Pleinweg 102B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €250,000 is slightly below the average sale price in Carnisse (€260,453) and the median (€239,000). Given that the apartment is 91 m², 34% larger than the neighbourhood average of 68 m², the price per m² works out to about €2,747, which is well under the neighbourhood average of €4,030 per m². So it appears keenly priced for its size.
The energy label is D. That means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home. In Carnisse, 46.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away. That is a bit of a distance, so you would likely rely on bus or metro connections for public transport. The neighbourhood is very well served by buses and the Rotterdam metro.
Residents have mixed feelings. One long-term resident says it feels safe and familiar, while another notes that "lately a lot of things have been happening" and would like to see more safety measures, especially for children. The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 913, which is relatively high, but many residents still appreciate the community spirit.
Yes, there are several primary schools within walking distance. CBS De Klaver Carnisse (396 m) and CBS Elout van Soeterwoude (433 m) are both about a five-minute walk away. For secondary education, the nearest school is 0.7 km away.
The listing does not mention parking, but in a dense urban neighbourhood like Carnisse, street parking is common. You would need to check with the municipality about permits and availability.
