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.
