Despite all the rubbish on the streets, it is a nice child-friendly neighbourhood with many schools in the area and shops are easily accessible, but there could be a lot less rubbish.
Auto-translated to English by AIMany people just throw everything on the street and the municipality of Rotterdam just leaves it lying around. Otherwise, it's quite nice to live here.

Auto-translated to English by AIPros are the atmosphere. Truly a Rotterdam character in 2023. Many different backgrounds. Disadvantage is the busy access road into the city. Tram track, many cars and route for ambulances and police cars. Architecture is ugly. Also, the green spaces are not optimally used.

About Spiegelnisserstraat 1, Rotterdam
At €314,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Oud Crooswijk, and 32% below the neighbourhood average of €463,344. However, the apartment is also smaller than average (66 m² vs 93 m²) and has an energy label D, which means higher energy costs. Given these factors, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a smaller, less efficient home in this market.
The energy label is D. This is less efficient than most homes in Oud Crooswijk, where 60% of the current stock has label A or better. A D label means you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a more modern, better-insulated home. It's worth factoring this into your monthly budget.
