Oude Noorden, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis listing is for a room on Jacob Catsstraat in Rotterdam, but it 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 €770 per month, the rent is 62% below the neighbourhood average for rentals, which is in line with what you'd expect for a room rather than a whole apartment. For context, the average room in the area goes for around €606, so this is slightly above that. You can compare it with other rooms in Rotterdam.
The Oude Noorden is a lively, diverse area with a strong sense of community. Based on seven reviews, residents give it a 7.2 out of 10. One resident says: "This neighbourhood is a mix of all nationalities and very popular, and not to mention we live close to the Rotte." Another notes: "We'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." A third resident feels less positive: "The 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." The area is densely populated, with mostly flats and a mix of ages. For more details, see the Oude Noorden neighbourhood.
For daily groceries, you have a Coop just around the corner and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. There's also an Aldi within a five-minute walk. For primary schools, the Prinses Julianaschool is on your doorstep, and Quadratum is just around the corner. A bit further, Hildegardis is a ten-minute walk. The area is very urban, with plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby.

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 ;).
