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 €3,100 per month, the rent is 49% above the neighbourhood average of €2,077, a premium that reflects the central location. For context, the area has 42 rental properties currently available, with prices ranging from €683 to €4,300. See rental homes in Rotterdam for more options.
Based on two reviews, the Oude Westen gets a 7.02 out of 10. 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 traffic and a high turnover of temporary residents. The area is densely populated (9,705 residents) and very urban, with 6,709 addresses per km². Most homes are flats (97%), and 80% are rented. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Oude Westen.
Kruisplein sits right in the city centre, so daily errands are easy. For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with an AH to go even closer and an Aldi a couple of streets away. Schools are nearby too: Havo/vwo voor Muziek en Dans is on your doorstep, Augustinus primary school is a five-minute walk, and Schakelschool de Gaffel is a bit further. The area is well connected by public transport, with a train station a ten-minute walk away. For more on the wider area, see municipality Rotterdam.

nice place, plenty of entertainment
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!
