Lombardijen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis listing is for a room on Socratesstraat in Rotterdam, but the house number, postcode, floor area, year of construction and energy label are not stated. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the room itself. At €725 a month, the rent is 55% below the neighbourhood average for a rental home, which is €1,621, but without the floor area it is hard to say how it compares per square metre. For context, the average rent for a room in Rotterdam is €643, so this is slightly above that. Rooms in Rotterdam are in demand, and this one is priced keenly for the area.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that so much rubbish is thrown outside the bins in the neighbourhood, and that bulky waste is not reported by residents, resulting in a lot of litter and vermin.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, Lombardijen has deteriorated significantly, especially in the last 10 years. You can see it visibly becoming impoverished, which is such a shame for such a beautiful neighbourhood that always had a reputation as a nice, clean, tidy neighbourhood. Unfortunately, both the residents and certainly the municipality of Rotterdam contribute to this. Safety is hard to find, drug nuisance, nuisance at the underground containers where all household items are just dumped. Rubbish on the street, which a number of residents try to keep up with by regularly picking it up, otherwise we see the rats and mice dancing merrily around the containers. And this is just a small impression of the waste pit of Rotterdam. The municipality must stop cutting costs and handing out fewer bonuses to the higher-ups, use money for the neighbourhoods and ensure that it becomes liveable again for the real Rotterdammers.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood but there could be improvements like more bins and more cleaning of the rubbish on the street.
