A rental apartment in the heart of Rotterdam
This apartment on Zijl 14A sits in the Stadsdriehoek, the oldest part of Rotterdam, where the streets hum with a mix of students, young professionals and long-time locals. With 92 square metres of living space and an energy label A, it is a comfortable, efficient base in a lively setting. The last known rent of €1,950 was about 14% below the neighbourhood average of €2,271, so it was keenly priced for what was on offer. For context, this sits among the wider supply of apartments in Rotterdam. This home has not been online since 5 November 2026.
The Stadsdriehoek neighbourhood
Residents give the Stadsdriehoek a 7.17 out of 10 across seven reviews, and the comments paint a mixed but honest picture. One resident calls it an "Ideal location" and says they "lived there during my student days." Another, more critical voice mentions "criminal drug neighbourhood next to the city," describing dealing near a coffee shop and a Salvation Army shelter close by. A third review, titled "A Pleasant Living Environment with Room for Improvement," notes a friendly community, decent schools and plenty of shops, while flagging litter and a need for more green spaces. Based on three reviews, the picture is one of a vibrant, convenient area with real downsides to weigh up. The neighbourhood is part of the Stadsdriehoek neighbourhood, where most households are single people and the average household size is small.
