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 €3,000 per month, the rent is 44% above the neighbourhood average of €2,077, which puts it on the high side compared to other rental homes in Rotterdam.
Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood Oude Westen gets a mixed score of 7.02. 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 that the area is well connected by metro, tram and bus, and close to shops on the Nieuwe Binnenweg. The neighbourhood has a very high density of 6,709 addresses per km², typical of a strongly urban area. Most households are single-person (around 3,140), and the population skews young, with many residents aged 25 to 45.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and AH to go is also nearby. There are several schools within walking distance: the primary school Augustinus is a couple of streets away, and Schakelschool de Gaffel is a five-minute walk. The municipality Rotterdam offers plenty of cultural amenities, with a restaurant just 0.2 km away and a park or garden 0.4 km from the street.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including TVN Real Estate and TVN Real Estate on Pararius. The agent has not published full specifications 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!
