Nieuwe Westen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 194 m² apartment on Van Cittersstraat sits in the lively Nieuwe Westen neighbourhood, a stone's throw from the city's energy. Built in 1924 and with energy label C, it offers generous proportions that are hard to find at this price. At €675,000, the asking price is 31% above the neighbourhood average of €514,034, but the floor area is 75% larger than the typical 111 m², so you're paying for space. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, and this one stands out for its size.
Nieuwe Westen is a dense, urban area with a mix of cultures and ages. One resident calls it 'a jack of all trades', noting the many nationalities and activities for all ages, though they mention noise from neighbours and litter issues. Another describes it as a 'quiet neighbourhood' during the day but less safe in the evening. A third simply says 'distant, people live there but then again not really'. Based on five reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.2 out of 10. The area is mostly pre-war housing (93% built before 1945), with many single-person households and a young population. The neighbourhood Nieuwe Westen is one of Rotterdam's most vibrant.

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.
