I live in a noisy house myself and have a lot of noise from the neighbours. Which is why I'm looking for another house. But apart from that, it's a nice neighbourhood here. With many nationalities living together in one neighbourhood. There are many activities for all ages. And there are many educational locations in my neighbourhood. But in my flat, there are also people who unfortunately just throw rubbish down from their window. As a result, there are food scraps behind the houses near the storage units and on the roof of the storage units.

About Schonebergerweg 22C, Rotterdam
The asking price of €450,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €514,034 and the median of €419,500. Given the 95 m² floor area, that works out to about €4,737 per m², which is in line with the average of €4,725 per m² in Nieuwe Westen. So it's priced competitively for the area.
The apartment has energy label C. That's a solid middle-of-the-road rating for a pre-war home (built 1905). You can expect reasonable energy costs, but it won't be as efficient as a modern home. In the neighbourhood, about 27% of homes have label A, 15% label B, and 29% label C, so this one sits in the most common category.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's a bit farther than the city centre, but Rotterdam's tram and bus network connects well from this area.
Residents describe Nieuwe Westen as a mixed neighbourhood. One says it's 'a jack of all trades' with many nationalities and activities, though noise from neighbours can be an issue. Another finds it quiet by day but less safe in the evening. The area has many single-person households and a young population, with a large share of residents aged 25-45.
Yes, there are several primary schools within walking distance. De Vierambacht and CBS Mozaiek are both about 400 metres away, a five-minute walk. For secondary education, there are options like MEX010 and special schools within 500 metres. In total, over 200 schools are within 5 km.
Safety perceptions vary. One resident feels safe during the day but less so in the evening, mentioning 'asylum seekers' as a concern. Another notes litter problems but otherwise finds it nice. The total number of crimes reported in the area is 1,224, which is relatively high for a dense urban neighbourhood. It's best to visit at different times to get your own feel.
