The neighbourhood: Kralingen Oost
Kralingen Oost is a mixed bag according to residents. One says: "It is a very safe neighbourhood. It is clean and beautiful with its nature and houses." Another calls it "a very nice, cosy neighbourhood, easily accessible by e.g. metro or tram." But there are also less rosy views: "No one here is social, always immediately aggressive and there is not enough green, everything is rubbish." Based on three reviews, the average score is 6.75. The area is densely populated (3,172 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of flats, but this street is in the one-third that are single-family homes. The neighbourhood Kralingen Oost has a young population, with many students and singles.

Frequently asked questions
About Witte Spaanstraat 25, Rotterdam
Is €1,325,000 a fair price for this home?
The asking price is 35% above the neighbourhood average of €981,625, but the home is also 40% larger than average (210 m² vs 150 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €6,310, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €6,246. So you're paying a premium for extra space, not per m².
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has energy label B, which is efficient. In the neighbourhood, only about 17% of homes have label A or better, so this is above average. You can expect relatively low energy costs compared to older homes in the area, many of which date from before 1945.
How safe is Kralingen Oost?
Residents have mixed views. One says it's "a very safe neighbourhood," while another mentions "dangerous incidents, like shootings, but that's almost never and hardly anyone actually experiences them." The total number of crimes reported in the area is 521, but without context it's hard to judge. The general feel is that it's safe, with some petty crime like bike theft.
What public transport is nearby?
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, so not within walking distance. However, residents mention that metro and tram stops are nearby, and there are plenty of shared bikes and scooters. The neighbourhood is well-connected for getting around Rotterdam.
Are there good schools in the area?
Yes, there are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including Montessorischool Kralingen and Vrije School Vredehof. The nearest secondary school is also about a ten-minute walk. One resident who grew up here says "the education is very good; most people get an average or higher secondary school recommendation."
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
Kralingen Oost has a mix of students, singles and families. About 24% of households have children, which is lower than the national average. There are plenty of schools and sports facilities, and the Kralingse Plas offers green space. However, one resident notes that there aren't as many cafes and shops as in some other Rotterdam neighbourhoods.
