Poolsestraat 25C, Rotterdam
Satisfactory · 7 residents
Lots of shards of glass lying on the street near a senior flat where many residents depend on a mobility scooter or wheelchair and are housebound if they get a flat tyre from riding over glass. Cars parked double, especially on Franselaan, or even crazier, parked diagonally on the pavement and cycle path to unload at a Polish supermarket. Speaking to the driver doesn't help because they only speak Polish, as it's a van or truck with Polish plates that keep doing this. Loose paving stones, especially on Franselaan; if you ride over them with a mobility scooter, you're terrified. Life-threatening situation in some places on that street, also for elderly people with limited mobility, because the tiles are simply not laid properly. The flat in the senior complex is excellent, certainly for someone with limited mobility who depends on aids.

Auto-translated to English by AII think there is potential in this neighbourhood, there is a warm community but hygiene and aesthetics are really not nice and it is no longer a neighbourhood to live in. I wish more value was placed on the aesthetics of the houses, streets, environment and surroundings.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived there since I was 20 and as a girl living in that place is not nice, I've had to call the police more often because men wanted sex and shouted sexual things

About Poolsestraat 25C, Rotterdam
Yes, it's a keen price. The rent of €754 is 37% below the neighbourhood average of €1,196 and also under the median of €927. For a 51 m² flat with energy label C in Oud Mathenesse, that's competitive. Only seven rentals are available in the area, and the cheapest is this one.
Oud Mathenesse is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. Residents have mixed views: some feel safe and have lived here for decades, while others mention issues like broken glass on streets and double parking. The average review score is 6.42 out of 7 reviews. The population is young, with many single-person households.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk. That makes it feasible for commuting, though not on your doorstep.
Dirk supermarket is 348 m away, and Lidl is 557 m. Primary schools include OBS Mathenesse (235 m) and Prinses Margrietschool (499 m). For secondary education, Experience College is 474 m away. A park is just 200 m from the flat.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war flat. It means the home has reasonable insulation but you can expect moderate energy costs. It's not as efficient as a modern A-label, but better than a G-label.
The floor area is 51 m², which typically accommodates one or two bedrooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
