Oude Westen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis listing does not state a house number, postcode, property type, floor area, year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €2,700 per month, the rent sits 30% above the neighbourhood average of €2,077, which is on the high side compared to other rental homes in Rotterdam.
Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood Oude Westen gets a mixed score of 7.0. One resident calls it a "perfect spot" with "plenty of entertainment". Another says: "The neighbourhood has a lot of potential to live comfortably, but due to frequent nuisance from confused people on the street, drug deals, drug use, and even sleepers in the porches in winter, I often feel unsafe." They also note heavy, fast traffic on their street and that many homes go to students or shared households. On the plus side, the location is close to shops on the Nieuwe Binnenweg, well connected by metro, tram and bus, and quiet in the evenings. The area has a very high density of 6,709 addresses per km², typical of a strongly urban setting.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with an AH to go even closer. Aldi and Coop are a couple of streets away. Schools nearby include the Havo/vwo voor Muziek en Dans and primary school Augustinus. The municipality Rotterdam offers plenty of cultural amenities, with a restaurant just 0.2 km away and a park or garden within a five-minute walk.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Rotterdam Apartments and also on Pararius. The agent has not published full specs such as the property type, floor area, year of construction or energy label.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has a lot of potential to live comfortably, but due to frequent nuisance from confused people on the street, drug deals, drug use, and even sleepers in the porches in winter, I often feel unsafe. Some neighbourhood police officers are fantastic, but I once spoke to an officer at a municipal meeting who didn't take this seriously at all ("you're a strong girl", "it's the landlord's responsibility", "just finish your studies quickly and move out"), which doesn't help that feeling of safety. I also find the traffic on my street heavy and especially fast and reckless. After moves, the houses often get students or shared households with young people (like mine). That's a shame; the neighbourhood gets many temporary residents with little connection to the area. I hope the Affordable Rent Act will restore that in the long run. I do see elsewhere in the area that there are social housing units, making the composition of residents mixed, and I think that's healthy. In the mid-range segment, however, I miss affordable homes. The residents of the area have a core of neighbours who have good contact. Newsletters are sent out and events are organised. As a tenant, I only heard about this after a few years. Furthermore, the location is close to shops on the Nieuwe Binnenweg, the area is well connected by metro, tram and bus, I live close to the museums, restaurants in the city centre, and despite that it's quiet on my street in the evenings. I miss greenery in the city but find that there are more and more neighbourhood initiatives to green streets and redesigns where parking spaces make way for tree pits, etc. Very nice!

About Kruisplein, Rotterdam
The rent is 30% above the neighbourhood average of €2,077, so it is on the high side. However, without knowing the floor area or property type, it is hard to compare directly. The median rent in the Oude Westen is €2,272, and the maximum is €4,300, so this home sits in the upper range.
Residents give it a 7.0 out of 10. One calls it a "perfect spot" with plenty of entertainment, while another mentions nuisance from drug use and feeling unsafe at times. The area is very urban with a high density, good public transport, and close to shops and restaurants. Some residents note that many homes go to students, leading to a transient population.
The nearest train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk. The area is also well connected by metro, tram and bus.
Albert Heijn is 224 metres away, and an AH to go is even closer at 245 metres. Aldi and Coop are within 500,600 metres, so daily shopping is convenient on foot.
Rotterdam Apartments has published only the street and price on Pararius.
Opinions vary. One resident feels unsafe due to drug deals and nuisance, while another enjoys the location. The area has a high number of recorded crimes (1,175 total), which is something to consider.
