Oude Westen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Diergaardesingel sits right in the thick of things, the city centre buzz, museums and restaurants are all on your doorstep. At 35 m² it's compact, but with an A+ energy label you won't be worrying about heating costs. The rent of €952 is 58% below the neighbourhood average, which makes it a keen option for a single person. For more context, have a look at other studios in Rotterdam.
Two residents have rated the Oude Westen a 7.0 out of 10. One calls it a "perfect spot" with "plenty of entertainment". Another says: "The neighbourhood has a lot of potential to live comfortably, but due to frequent nuisance from confused people on the street, drug deals, drug use, and even sleepers in the porches in winter, I often feel unsafe." They also note that the area is well connected by public transport and close to shops on the Nieuwe Binnenweg. The neighbourhood has a very high address density (6,709 addresses per km²) and is home to many single-person households. Find out more about the Oude Westen neighbourhood.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there are several other supermarkets within a five-minute walk. Primary schools like Augustinus and KC Het Oude Westen are a couple of streets away, while secondary schools such as Havo/vwo voor Muziek en Dans are even closer. The area is well served by public transport, with a train station a ten-minute walk away. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Rotterdam.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has a lot of potential to live comfortably, but due to frequent nuisance from confused people on the street, drug deals, drug use, and even sleepers in the porches in winter, I often feel unsafe. Some neighbourhood police officers are fantastic, but I once spoke to an officer at a municipal meeting who didn't take this seriously at all ("you're a strong girl", "it's the landlord's responsibility", "just finish your studies quickly and move out"), which doesn't help that feeling of safety. I also find the traffic on my street heavy and especially fast and reckless. After moves, the houses often get students or shared households with young people (like mine). That's a shame; the neighbourhood gets many temporary residents with little connection to the area. I hope the Affordable Rent Act will restore that in the long run. I do see elsewhere in the area that there are social housing units, making the composition of residents mixed, and I think that's healthy. In the mid-range segment, however, I miss affordable homes. The residents of the area have a core of neighbours who have good contact. Newsletters are sent out and events are organised. As a tenant, I only heard about this after a few years. Furthermore, the location is close to shops on the Nieuwe Binnenweg, the area is well connected by metro, tram and bus, I live close to the museums, restaurants in the city centre, and despite that it's quiet on my street in the evenings. I miss greenery in the city but find that there are more and more neighbourhood initiatives to green streets and redesigns where parking spaces make way for tree pits, etc. Very nice!
