Living in Kop van Zuid - Entrepot, Rotterdam
Kop van Zuid - Entrepot lies on the south bank of the Nieuwe Maas, directly opposite the centre of Rotterdam. The neighbourhood was largely redeveloped in the 1990s and 2000s on the site of the former Rotterdam docks. Here you will find a mix of modern high-rise apartments (think of the towers around the Wilhelminapier and the Entrepot area), renovated warehouses, and social housing from the second half of the twentieth century. The result is a neighbourhood with a strikingly mixed character: sleek architecture alongside older porch flats, and residents from all income groups living side by side.
The atmosphere is urban but relatively quiet by Rotterdam standards. Resident Jelle describes it as: "Very cosy and quiet, and a beautiful environment." At the same time, it is not quiet everywhere. Sevval notes that "neighbours often argue" and that "there is a lot of renovation going on, from early to late." That is the downside of a neighbourhood that is still very much in development.

Very cosy, quiet and a beautiful environment
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbours often argue with their families and shout outside, there's also a lot of renovation going on in the area from early to late, and sometimes strange people hang around the supermarket when it starts to get darker. The buses, metros and train are all nearby, but it's a shame that bus 77 is gone, because now I have to walk quite far to get there. There isn't much nature, since I live almost in the middle of the city. Walking to the metros is also quite a distance. Besides that, I find my neighbourhood very nice. I feel safe and at ease.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe lift is always broken…….and left dirty. Neighbours are okay, not much communication but there is a bit of noise now and then. I feel safe in my neighbourhood. There aren't really any nice playgrounds nearby, which is a shame…
