Living in Feijenoord, Rotterdam

Feijenoord is the neighbourhood directly around the iconic De Kuip stadium, on the south bank of the Nieuwe Maas. It is a densely built, urban neighbourhood with a mix of pre-war porch flats, post-war apartment blocks from the 1950s and 1960s, and occasional newer residential complexes. The atmosphere is raw and unpolished. This is not a neighbourhood with trendy coffee bars or renovated warehouses like you find in Katendrecht or Kop van Zuid. Feijenoord has its own down-to-earth character with a diverse population: of the 7,820 residents, the largest group is between 25 and 45 years old (2,210), and there are relatively many single-person households (1,595). The average income is €26,500, significantly lower than the Rotterdam average of €35,900.

Accessibility of Feijenoord

Accessibility scores highly among residents, and rightly so. Feijenoord metro station (lines D and E) takes you to Rotterdam Central in five minutes. Several bus and tram lines stop along Stadionweg and Beijerlandselaan. By car, you are quickly on the A16 and the Van Brienenoord Bridge towards the A15 and A20. Cycling to the city centre takes about ten to fifteen minutes via the Erasmus Bridge. Parking is still possible without a permit in parts of the neighbourhood, but parking pressure is increasing, especially on Feyenoord match days.

Does a rental property in Feijenoord suit you?

Feijenoord mainly attracts singles and starters looking for an affordable rental home in a well-connected location in Rotterdam-Zuid. The neighbourhood is less suitable if you are looking for peace and a strong community. For families with young children, there are primary schools in the area, but the low safety and beauty scores are a point of concern. If you want to rent a home in Feijenoord through the social sector, register with the municipality of Rotterdam and with Woonbron or Havensteder. The waiting lists are long, sometimes more than five years.
