Cool, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on William Boothlaan sits right in the thick of things in Cool, one of Rotterdam's most central neighbourhoods. The listing does not state a year of construction. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €495,000 for 66 m², the price per square metre is in line with the market, though the home is 35% smaller than the neighbourhood average. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in size and price.
Cool is a dense, inner-city neighbourhood with a very high address density, you're surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants. It's a young area: most residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone. One resident sums it up simply: "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 neighbourhood scores a 6.25 out of 10. The neighbourhood Cool is undeniably central, but it's not for everyone.
For your morning bread, SPAR is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Openbare Basisschool Het Landje and Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging. The Erasmus MC is nearby, and the municipality Rotterdam offers all the cultural amenities you'd expect from a major city.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Maarten Makelaardij and several other channels. The agent has not published the year of construction, so that detail remains unknown.

About William Boothlaan 40, Rotterdam
The asking price of €495,000 is close to the neighbourhood median of €480,500. At €7,500 per m², it's above the average of €6,296 per m², but the home is smaller than most (66 m² vs 101 m² average). Given the central location and A++ energy label, the price is in line with the market.
The energy label is A++, the highest possible. That means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs. In the neighbourhood, 38.5% of homes have label A or A+, so this one is among the best.
Cool has a high number of recorded incidents (3,624 total), and one resident mentions vagrants. However, they also note that police respond quickly. It's a very central, busy area, so it comes with both the perks and the downsides of city living.
Rotterdam Central Station is about 1 km away, a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is very well connected, with trams and buses nearby. The high address density (6,905 addresses per km²) means you're never far from a stop.
The agent has not provided the year of construction in the listing.
Yes, the nearest park or public garden is about 300 metres away, a five-minute walk. For a central neighbourhood, that's quite accessible.
