Oud Charlois
Oud Charlois is a mixed neighbourhood with a strong urban feel, home to around 13,860 people. Most households are single-person, and the age spread is fairly even, with a slight concentration in the 25 to 45 bracket. Resident reviews are mixed, based on six reviews with an average score of 6.91. One resident describes it as "Ghetto", noting "many junkies and psychiatric people. Lots of shouting. Lots of rubbish. Poorly maintained. Positive: tram connection". Another calls it "Cosy", simply saying "Great neighbourhood". A third, "Poor Charlois", mentions harassment and a school that is "lagging behind because too many children don't speak Dutch". It is a neighbourhood with real contrasts, and the Oud Charlois neighbourhood page gives more detail.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the MCD supermarket is just around the corner, with Aldi, PLUS and Albert Heijn a bit further out. Obs Charlois primary school is a couple of streets away, and the Wilhelminaschool is, so school runs are short. The nearest secondary school, Schreuder College De Quackstraat, is. The tram connection is a plus mentioned by residents, and the train station is 4.4 km away. The municipality of Rotterdam page covers the wider area.
