The Oude Noorden is a dense, urban area where people know each other. One resident says: "We know each other in this neighbourhood, it's a mix of all nationalities and very popular, and not to mention we live close to the Rotte." Another adds: "We've been living here 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." A third review is less positive: "The 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." Based on seven reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.2 out of 10. The area is very strongly urban, with mostly flats and a young population, many households are singles or couples without children. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Oude Noorden.

For school runs, Kindcentrum de Klimop (primary) is a five-minute walk, and the Horeca Vakschool Rotterdam (secondary) is also within walking distance. The Rotte river is nearby for a stroll, and the city centre is a short bike ride away. For a broader view of the surroundings, check out the municipality Rotterdam.

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 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 255, Rotterdam
The asking price of €325,000 is 34% below the neighbourhood average of €489,875, but the apartment is also smaller than average (57 m² vs 98 m²). Given the size and the fact that similar homes in the area sell for a median of €446,250, the price appears keen for a buyer who values location over square metres.
The energy label is C, which is average for homes in the Netherlands. You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as an A-label, but far better than a G-label. In the Oude Noorden, about 22% of homes have label C, so this is in line with the neighbourhood.
