Liskwartier, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Willebrordusstraat has a warm, pre-war feel with its 1922 construction and energy label B. At 61 m², it's compact but efficient, and the asking price of €375,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average, 26% below the typical €507,862. That's partly because the floor area is 39% smaller than the local norm of 100 m². For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one is priced to move.
Liskwartier is a lively, up-and-coming part of Rotterdam North with beautiful pre-war streets that survived the bombing. Residents appreciate the mix: one calls it "multicultural" and says "everyone feels at home and you can go anywhere." Another notes it's "up-and-coming, hip and lively," with new spots, cosy eateries and good restaurants. Safety is improving, though some mention occasional fast-driving cars and litter. The neighbourhood has a young, urban feel, mostly singles and couples, with an address density of 6,670 per km². For more, see the Liskwartier neighbourhood.
Daily errands are easy: an Aldi is on your doorstep, and an Albert Heijn is just around the corner. For schools, Imelda primary school is a couple of streets away, and Juliana van Stolbergschool is a five-minute walk. The area is packed with restaurants and cafes within a few minutes' walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre is easily reachable. For broader context, the municipality of Rotterdam offers all the amenities of a major city.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Zuidstad Makelaars.

Everyone feels at home and you can go anywhere.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for about four years now and I think it's a nice area to live in. Actually, everything you need is in the neighbourhood: supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops, train and tram station. A bit more green would certainly be an addition, and it's also a shame that the metro is a bit of a bike ride away. Lately, I do notice more litter on the streets and more confused/addicted people on the streets, which gives a less safe feeling. I don't get harassed very often myself, but I wouldn't let children play/walk around here alone. In terms of green space, I would appreciate a nice park like in Blijdorp, but if extra trees are planted next to the busy roads, I think that would already help a lot.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe Listkwartier is a beautiful part of Rotterdam North, where most streets were not bombed. Gorgeous streets and houses, and the neighbourhood is truly up-and-coming. Lots of new hip spots, cosy eateries and good restaurants. In terms of safety, it's improving rapidly. Every now and then (too) fast-driving antisocial cars, but safety is getting better and better.

About Willebrordusstraat 137B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €375,000 is 26% below the neighbourhood average of €507,862, but the apartment is also 39% smaller than the typical 100 m². On a per-square-metre basis, the price is about €6,148, which is above the neighbourhood average of €5,228 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size. It's a keen entry point into Liskwartier.
The energy label is B, which is good for a 1922 apartment. It means the home is reasonably efficient, with moderate heating costs expected. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label A and 12.5% have label B, so this is above average for the area.
Residents have mixed views. One says safety is "improving rapidly" and that the area feels safer over time. Another notes more litter and "confused/addicted people" on the streets, which gives a less safe feeling, but they don't get harassed often. The total number of crimes reported in the neighbourhood is 506, which is moderate for a dense urban area.
The train station is 2.2 km away, about a ten-minute walk. Tram and bus stops are also within walking distance. The metro is a bit further, as one resident notes it's "a bit of a bike ride away." Overall, the area is well-connected for a Rotterdam neighbourhood.
The nearest park or garden is 0.4 km away, a five-minute walk. Residents would appreciate more green space, with one mentioning a park like in Blijdorp would be nice. But for daily use, the nearby park is adequate.
The neighbourhood has a young, urban population: 38% are aged 25-45, and 29% of households are singles. Only 27% of households have children. It's popular with first-time buyers and young professionals who enjoy the lively, hip atmosphere and the pre-war architecture.
