Oude Noorden, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis listing is for a room on 2e Pijnackerstraat in Rotterdam's Oude Noorden. This listing does not state a house number, postcode, 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 €775 a month, the rent is 63% below the neighbourhood average for rentals, which is in line with the market for a room. For context, the average room in the neighbourhood goes for €664, so this is slightly above that. You can compare with other rooms in Rotterdam.
The Oude Noorden is a diverse, lively area north of the city centre. It's densely built up with mostly flats and a mix of nationalities. Residents appreciate the community feel: one says, "We know each other in this neighbourhood" and notes it's popular and close to the Rotte. Another calls it "cosy and hip," adding that people help each other and still greet one another. However, hygiene is a concern for some, and one resident mentions littering and long-term construction works. The neighbourhood has a high address density, so it's very urban. For more on the area, see the Oude Noorden neighbourhood.
Daily errands are easy: a Coop supermarket is on your doorstep, and an Albert Heijn is just around the corner. For a bigger shop, an Aldi is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools nearby, including Quadratum (a five-minute walk) and Prinses Julianaschool (just around the corner). A secondary school, Horeca Vakschool Rotterdam, is also within a five-minute walk. The area has plenty of restaurants and cafes, and the Rotte river is close by for a stroll. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Rotterdam.

This neighbourhood is a mix of all nationalities and very popular, and not to mention we live close to the Rotte
Auto-translated to English by AIWe've been living in this neighbourhood for 4 years now and it's fine, and people are there for each other with help when needed, people still greet each other here and everyone knows each other, only the hygiene could be better
Auto-translated to English by AIThe house is fine but people throw all sorts of things on the street, especially food, and I've been living in a construction pit for over 2 years.
Auto-translated to English by AII find the neighbourhood rather one-sided in terms of residents
Auto-translated to English by AIIn this neighbourhood you'll find cosy pubs, sports clubs, schools, an abundance of shops, a choice of almost every supermarket (except Jumbo). In the last few years, more and more students have come to live in and around the Zwart Janstraat (shopping street). That creates a lively atmosphere and occasionally some noise from parties, but I certainly don't mind it. It's a mix of various ethnicities, everyone is helpful and greets each other. A few years ago, the neighbourhood was really a mess, it seems to have improved a bit now, but you can't call it clean. The Zwart Janstraat was a Formula 1 circuit, but the municipality put a stop to that with extremely high thresholds and confusing one-way streets. Occasionally, some cars still race through the side streets with an enormous racket. I wouldn't let children play outside alone quickly, especially after dusk. There are sometimes unpredictable (sometimes addicted) individuals roaming around, especially past the Noordsingel around those small sports fields. My bike was stolen last year when I wasn't looking. Likewise, some other, more valuable belongings of residents. So watch your belongings. Crooswijk borders the Oude Noorden; this neighbourhood is often in the news in mid-2023 with bomb threats. I haven't seen or heard this kind of crime here, so I can't confirm that. All in all, a vibrant neighbourhood where you won't get bored with everything you need nearby. But with a slight ghetto feel (3 out of 10), that's how I would describe it to give you an idea ;).
Auto-translated to English by AIVery noisy on the street at night, but there are also many parties in the houses. There should be more police patrols.
