The Oude Westen neighbourhood
The Oude Westen neighbourhood is a mixed, central area with a strong sense of community. Based on two reviews, residents give it an average score of 7.02. One resident calls it a "perfect spot" and notes it is a "nice place, plenty of entertainment". Another resident 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." The same resident adds that "the residents of the area have a core of neighbours who have good contact" and that "the location is close to shops on the Nieuwe Binnenweg, the area is well connected by metro, tram and bus". The neighbourhood counts around 9,600 residents, with a high share of single-person households.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. A SPAR express is on your doorstep, with another SPAR express just around the corner and an Ekoplaza a couple of streets away. For a fuller shop, an Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. For schools, the Erasmiaans Gymnasium is just around the corner, while KC Het Oude Westen primary school is a ten-minute walk. The area is well served by public transport, with the train station a little over a kilometre away. All of this sits within the municipality of Rotterdam, so the city centre, museums and restaurants are close by.
