A new-build apartment in the heart of Rotterdam
This brand-new apartment on William Boothlaan sits in the middle of Rotterdam's lively Cool neighbourhood, a stone's throw from the city's energy. With 153 m² of living space, it was a generous home by any standard, and the A++ energy label meant running costs would stay low. The last known rent of €3,840 was 64% above the neighbourhood average of €2,341, which put it on the high side, but the size and newness explain much of that. For context, this was one of the apartments in Rotterdam at the time on the market. This home has not been online since 27 October 2026.
The Cool neighbourhood
Cool is a compact, urban district where nearly half of residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. It is a busy, central area with a mix of offices, shops and homes, and the reviews reflect that variety. One resident simply says: "Cool." Another notes: "A lot of vagrants. Police are quick to respond, but it's a shame it's necessary." Based on four reviews, the average score is 6.25, so opinions are mixed. The neighbourhood is part of the Cool neighbourhood page, where you can read more.
Life on the street
Daily life here is about convenience. A SPAR is just around the corner for quick groceries, and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away for the weekly shop. For school runs, Openbare Basisschool Het Landje is on your doorstep, and the Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging is just a short walk. Secondary options like Erasmiaans Gymnasium are within a ten-minute walk. The train station is about 1.2 km away, so getting out of the city is straightforward. This is all part of the municipality of Rotterdam, where urban living is the norm.
