Zijdewindestraat 92
Oude Westen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodA lively spot in the Oude Westen
This apartment on Zijdewindestraat sits in the heart of Rotterdam's Oude Westen, a neighbourhood that buzzes with energy. At €1,750 per month, the rent is 22% below the neighbourhood average of €2,245, which makes it a keen deal for the area. For context, apartments in Rotterdam typically go for more.
The Oude Westen neighbourhood
The Oude Westen neighbourhood is a mixed bag, according to two residents. One calls it a "perfect spot" with "plenty of entertainment." Another appreciates the potential but mentions "frequent nuisance from confused people on the street, drug deals, drug use, and even sleepers in the porches in winter," which makes them feel unsafe at times. They also note heavy, fast traffic on their street. However, they value the "core of neighbours who have good contact" and the neighbourhood's initiatives to green the streets. Most households are single-person (58%), and the area is densely populated.
Life on the street
For daily errands, you're just around the corner from an Aldi, and a Dirk is a couple of streets away. For schools, Augustinus primary school is a five-minute walk, and the Vrije School Rotterdam West is just beyond that. The area is well connected by public transport, with a train station 1.4 km away. The municipality of Rotterdam offers a vibrant urban setting with museums and restaurants nearby.

Frequently asked questions
About Zijdewindestraat 92, Rotterdam
Is €1,750 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 22% below the neighbourhood average of €2,245, so it's on the keen side. With 75 m² of living space, that works out to about €23 per m², which is lower than the average of €34 per m² in the area. Given the location and size, this price is competitive.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. It indicates the home is reasonably efficient, but the label alone doesn't tell you about the condition of the insulation or heating system. Expect moderate energy costs for a home of this size.
How is the neighbourhood for safety?
Residents have mixed feelings. One review mentions feeling unsafe due to "frequent nuisance from confused people on the street, drug deals, drug use, and even sleepers in the porches in winter." Another calls it a "perfect spot" with "plenty of entertainment." The neighbourhood has a high density and a mix of residents, which some see as healthy.
What are the nearby amenities?
You have an Aldi just around the corner at 225 metres, and a Dirk at 380 metres. For schools, Augustinus primary school is a five-minute walk, and the Vrije School Rotterdam West is slightly further. A train station is 1.4 km away, and there are plenty of restaurants within a short walk.
How many rooms does this apartment have?
The listing does not state the number of rooms. The floor area is 75 m², but the layout is not described. You would need to see the floor plan or visit to know the exact room count.

nice place, plenty of entertainment
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has a lot of potential to live comfortably, but due to frequent nuisance from confused people on the street, drug deals, drug use, and even sleepers in the porches in winter, I often feel unsafe. Some neighbourhood police officers are fantastic, but I once spoke to an officer at a municipal meeting who didn't take this seriously at all ("you're a strong girl", "it's the landlord's responsibility", "just finish your studies quickly and move out"), which doesn't help that feeling of safety. I also find the traffic on my street heavy and especially fast and reckless. After moves, the houses often get students or shared households with young people (like mine). That's a shame; the neighbourhood gets many temporary residents with little connection to the area. I hope the Affordable Rent Act will restore that in the long run. I do see elsewhere in the area that there are social housing units, making the composition of residents mixed, and I think that's healthy. In the mid-range segment, however, I miss affordable homes. The residents of the area have a core of neighbours who have good contact. Newsletters are sent out and events are organised. As a tenant, I only heard about this after a few years. Furthermore, the location is close to shops on the Nieuwe Binnenweg, the area is well connected by metro, tram and bus, I live close to the museums, restaurants in the city centre, and despite that it's quiet on my street in the evenings. I miss greenery in the city but find that there are more and more neighbourhood initiatives to green streets and redesigns where parking spaces make way for tree pits, etc. Very nice!

Auto-translated to English by AICool
Auto-translated to English by AII live diagonally opposite a coffee shop. When the coffee shop is closed, dealing continues cheerfully in a parking lot that I look out onto from my apartment. I really don't find that pleasant or safe. And my porch is used as a toilet by homeless people, which is also not very pleasant. This is because close to where I live there is a Salvation Army shelter.

Auto-translated to English by AIA lot of vagrants. Police are quick to respond, but it's a shame it's necessary.

Experiences from Rotterdam
How residents experience their municipality
Het is net een klein dorpje, je kunt overal fijn heen fietsen of lopen. Er is ook openbaar vervoer wat het nog makkelijker maakt om ergens heen te gaan. Niet al te ver van het centrum af.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for a few years. There's litter on the ground. But the supermarkets are good in the neighbourhood and there's a community centre. Nice!
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood. The airport is nearby, but you don't hear a thing. Zestienhovenpark is great for walking or jogging. Many families with children live here. There is a lot of greenery and you see many birds. The best neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIed432f34g
Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I was born here so I grew up with the neighbourhood as it is now.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe facilities and the apartment itself are nice. But around the building there is a lot of rubbish on the street and junkies.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is and remains a village
