This neighbourhood is a mix of all nationalities and very popular, and not to mention we live close to the Rotte
Auto-translated to English by AIWe've been living in this neighbourhood for 4 years now and it's fine, and people are there for each other with help when needed, people still greet each other here and everyone knows each other, only the hygiene could be better
Auto-translated to English by AIThe house is fine but people throw all sorts of things on the street, especially food, and I've been living in a construction pit for over 2 years.
Auto-translated to English by AII find the neighbourhood rather one-sided in terms of residents
Auto-translated to English by AIIn this neighbourhood you'll find cosy pubs, sports clubs, schools, an abundance of shops, a choice of almost every supermarket (except Jumbo). In the last few years, more and more students have come to live in and around the Zwart Janstraat (shopping street). That creates a lively atmosphere and occasionally some noise from parties, but I certainly don't mind it. It's a mix of various ethnicities, everyone is helpful and greets each other. A few years ago, the neighbourhood was really a mess, it seems to have improved a bit now, but you can't call it clean. The Zwart Janstraat was a Formula 1 circuit, but the municipality put a stop to that with extremely high thresholds and confusing one-way streets. Occasionally, some cars still race through the side streets with an enormous racket. I wouldn't let children play outside alone quickly, especially after dusk. There are sometimes unpredictable (sometimes addicted) individuals roaming around, especially past the Noordsingel around those small sports fields. My bike was stolen last year when I wasn't looking. Likewise, some other, more valuable belongings of residents. So watch your belongings. Crooswijk borders the Oude Noorden; this neighbourhood is often in the news in mid-2023 with bomb threats. I haven't seen or heard this kind of crime here, so I can't confirm that. All in all, a vibrant neighbourhood where you won't get bored with everything you need nearby. But with a slight ghetto feel (3 out of 10), that's how I would describe it to give you an idea ;).

About Stroveer 20, Rotterdam
The asking price of €325,000 is 34% below the average asking price in the Oude Noorden (€489,875). However, the apartment is also smaller than average at 51 m². Given the compact size and the neighbourhood's popularity, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a starter home in this area.
The apartment has energy label D. In the Oude Noorden, about 24% of homes have a label D or lower, while 54% have a label B or better. Label D means moderate energy efficiency, so heating costs will be higher than in a more modern home, but it's not the worst.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride. The area is well served by trams and buses, making it easy to get around Rotterdam without a car.
The Oude Noorden is a diverse, lively area with a strong community feel. Residents describe it as a place where people greet each other and help out. It's popular with young professionals and families, though some note that street hygiene could be better. The neighbourhood has a high density of shops, cafes, and restaurants.
The listing does not explicitly state the number of bedrooms, but with 51 m² of living space, it is likely a one- or two-bedroom apartment. You would need to check the floor plan with the agent for the exact layout.
The listing does not mention a garden or balcony. Given that it's an apartment in a dense urban area, outdoor space is not guaranteed.
