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 Van Cittersstraat 36B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €535,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €514,034 and the median of €419,500. However, this apartment is larger than average (130 m² vs 111 m²), so the price per m² (€4,115) is actually below the neighbourhood average of €4,725. Given the size, the price seems in line with the market.
The apartment has energy label D. In the neighbourhood, about 20% of homes have label D or lower, while 27% have label A and 8.5% have A+. Label D means moderate efficiency, so heating costs will be higher than in a more modern home, but it's not the worst.
Residents have mixed views. One says it's safe during the day but less so in the evening, mentioning asylum seekers. Another reports noise from neighbours and litter. The neighbourhood recorded 1,224 total crimes, but without context it's hard to compare. Overall, the average review score is 7.2 out of 10.
