Many junkies and psychiatric people. Lots of shouting. Lots of rubbish. Poorly maintained. Positive: tram connection
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's not Charlois anymore. I've been harassed several times. Once I was even chased by a tinted person with a face mask while they haven't been worn for a long time. Then as a woman you feel very small. The school is lagging behind because too many children don't speak Dutch, including our children who suffer. Since the flat was renovated, everything has gone downhill. You can count the Dutch on one hand now, it used to be different. They make a mess of it and around the flat there are regularly those balloons, gas cylinders behind the lift, 30 or so. Accessibility is good, the only positive. I have no words for it, but still nothing is done about it.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe live on a nice street with friendly neighbours. Most people say hello on the street, which was different in the village where we used to live. Because this is a close-knit neighbourhood, it's nice and pleasant that people look out for each other. The butcher/supermarket around the corner is unfortunately gone, so we walk to the MCD. Perfectly doable. Public transport is also within walking distance. It's a shame that sometimes household items are left outside and that when bins are overflowing, rubbish is placed next to them. That's why hygiene scores a bit lower here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have seen and experienced nasty things here. More and more old Rotterdammers are dying and newcomers are replacing them, all kinds of newcomers. The neighbourhood is full of plastic and rubbish on the grass patches and people sometimes throw dirty nappies from balconies into the harbour. Painful to see but the Municipality of Rotterdam keeps it reasonably well maintained, though they could send litter pickers more often.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn my opinion and experience, I find Oud Charlois a pleasant and quiet neighbourhood. It feels like a village within a city. With lots of greenery, playgrounds. Centrally located, you can be in the city centre/Zuidplein/Feijenoord in 10 minutes. I wouldn't want to live in any other neighbourhood.

About Zuidhoek 238A01, Rotterdam
The asking price of €215,000 is 34% below the neighbourhood average of €326,555. However, the flat is also 44% smaller than the average home in Oud Charlois (48 m² vs 86 m²). Given the compact size and the neighbourhood's mixed reputation, the price seems in line with what you'd expect for a small apartment in this area.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war flat. You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as a modern A-label home, but not as high as a G-label property. In Oud Charlois, about 20% of homes have label A, 20% label B, and 25% label C, so this flat sits in the middle of the pack.
Resident reviews give the neighbourhood a 6.9 out of 10, with some mentioning safety concerns. One review says: "Many junkies and psychiatric people. Lots of shouting." Another describes being harassed and chased. The area recorded 819 total crimes in the latest data, which is high for a neighbourhood of this size. It's worth visiting at different times to get a feel for the street.
The nearest train station is 4.9 km away, so commuting by rail requires a bus or tram connection. The neighbourhood has good tram and bus links, as noted by residents.
The listing does not specify the number of rooms, but with 48 m² it is likely a one- or two-bedroom apartment.
For a flat in a pre-war building, it typically covers maintenance of common areas, but the exact amount is not available. You would need to ask the agent for this detail.
