Oud Charlois, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Slotboomstraat in Oud Charlois, Rotterdam, has 130 m² of living space and an energy label F, so heating costs will be significant. Built in 1934, it retains original character. At €425,000, the asking price is 30% above the neighbourhood average of €326,555, which is on the high side, partly because the home is 51% larger than the average in the area. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Rotterdam vary widely in price.

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 Slotboomstraat 25, Rotterdam
The asking price is 30% above the neighbourhood average of €326,555, but the home is also 51% larger than the average (130 m² vs 86 m²). Corner houses in Rotterdam vary, so it depends on how you value the extra space and the energy label F.
The energy label is F, which is poor. Expect high heating costs. In Oud Charlois, 35.1% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's worth factoring into your budget.
Residents give mixed reviews. Some mention safety concerns and litter, while others find it cosy. The area is very urban with a high population density. It has good public transport connections, including a tram line.
Primary schools within walking distance include Wilhelminaschool (309 m) and basisschool Wereldwijs (327 m). For secondary education, Hugo de Groot is 384 m away. There are also several other options within a short distance.
The nearest train station is 4.9 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, tram and bus connections are available in the neighbourhood.
MCD is 485 m away, Aldi is 621 m, and PLUS is 689 m. For more variety, Dirk is about 1.2 km. Daily shopping is convenient on foot.
