Satisfactory · 7 residents
Lots of shards of glass lying on the street near a senior flat where many residents depend on a mobility scooter or wheelchair and are housebound if they get a flat tyre from riding over glass. Cars parked double, especially on Franselaan, or even crazier, parked diagonally on the pavement and cycle path to unload at a Polish supermarket. Speaking to the driver doesn't help because they only speak Polish, as it's a van or truck with Polish plates that keep doing this. Loose paving stones, especially on Franselaan; if you ride over them with a mobility scooter, you're terrified. Life-threatening situation in some places on that street, also for elderly people with limited mobility, because the tiles are simply not laid properly. The flat in the senior complex is excellent, certainly for someone with limited mobility who depends on aids.

Auto-translated to English by AII have lived here since 1997 and of course the neighbourhood is going downhill but as long as we feel safe we will stay living here.
Auto-translated to English by AII think there is potential in this neighbourhood, there is a warm community but hygiene and aesthetics are really not nice and it is no longer a neighbourhood to live in. I wish more value was placed on the aesthetics of the houses, streets, environment and surroundings.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived there since I was 20 and as a girl living in that place is not nice, I've had to call the police more often because men wanted sex and shouted sexual things

About Zweedsestraat 143A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €250,000 is below the average sale price in Oud Mathenesse (€266,824) and the average asking price (€274,900). Given the 53 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €4,717, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,177 per m². So it's priced keenly overall, but the per-square-metre cost reflects the compact size.
The home has energy label C. This is a reasonable rating for a pre-war flat; it means the property is moderately efficient. In the neighbourhood, 27.3% of homes have label C, while 58.2% have a label D or lower. You can expect average energy costs, but not the highest bills.
Residents give mixed reviews. One long-term resident says they feel safe and are happy living there. Another mentions that the neighbourhood is deteriorating but still feels safe. However, a review points out issues like broken glass on streets and double-parked cars, particularly near a Polish supermarket on Franselaan. The total number of crimes reported in the area is 587, which is relatively high for a neighbourhood of this size.
There are several schools within walking distance. OBS Mathenesse is about 288 metres away, and Basisschool de Peperklip is 485 metres away. For secondary education, Experience College is 616 metres away. There is also a special education school, Auris Hildernisseschool, at 200 metres.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk. This makes it feasible for commuting, though not on your doorstep.
Oud Mathenesse has a high proportion of single-person households (2,540 out of 4,250 households) and a relatively young population, with many residents aged 25-45. The area is densely urban and attracts people who want to be close to the city centre. Only 35% of homes are owner-occupied, so there is a mix of renters and owners.
