Van Oldenbarneveltstraat 135B02
Cool, Rotterdam
AreaA classic apartment in the heart of Rotterdam
This apartment on Van Oldenbarneveltstraat sits in the middle of Rotterdam's lively Cool neighbourhood, a stone's throw from the city's energy. The 1877 building has a classic feel, and the 78 m² interior is spread over a floor plan that suits a couple or a single professional. At €2,150 per month, the rent sits above the neighbourhood average of €1,995, which reflects the central setting and the size of the home. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price, so this one is on the higher side for the area.
The Cool neighbourhood
Cool is a compact, urban district where most residents live alone, and the average age skews young, with nearly half of the population between 25 and 45. It is a busy part of town, and the reviews reflect that mix. One resident says: "A lot of vagrants. Police are quick to respond, but it's a shame it's necessary." Another simply calls it "Cool." Based on four reviews, the overall score is 6.25, so it is a neighbourhood with character rather than quiet suburbia. The energy label is B, which is a reasonable rating for a building of this age. The Cool neighbourhood is central, and that comes with both convenience and a certain bustle.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. An Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a Coop a couple of streets away, so picking up bread or groceries is a quick walk. For families, there are schools nearby, including the Augustinus primary school and the Havo/vwo voor Muziek en Dans secondary school. The train station is 1.2 km away, which is a ten-minute walk for commuters. The municipality of Rotterdam offers all the amenities you would expect from a major city, and this street puts you right in the middle of it.
