Oude Westen, Rotterdam

At 28 m², it's a snug, efficient space that suits someone who spends most of their time out and about. The rent of €809 is well below the neighbourhood average of €2,414, which makes it a keen option for a single person.

About Henegouwerlaan 120D, Rotterdam
The rent of €809 is significantly below the average rent in the Oude Westen, which is €2,414. However, this studio is also much smaller than the average rental home in the area (28 m² versus 79 m²). Given the size, the price per square metre is about €29, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €33.84 per m². So, for a compact studio, the rent is on the low side.
The energy label is B. This is an official registration from EP-Online, indicating the home's energy performance. A B label is relatively efficient, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only about its energy efficiency.
An Aldi is just 62 metres away, so you can be there in under a minute. A Dirk is 253 metres away, and an Albert Heijn is 537 metres. This makes daily grocery shopping very convenient, with several options within a short walk.
Residents give the Oude Westen an average score of 7.02 out of 10. One resident describes it as a "perfect spot" with "plenty of entertainment." Another mentions that while the location is great, there are issues with nuisance and safety, particularly from drug-related activity. They also note that the area is well connected by public transport and close to museums and restaurants.
The nearest train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a 17-minute walk or a short cycle. The area is also well served by metro, tram and bus, according to residents.
There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Augustinus (240 m), Schakelschool de Gaffel (316 m), and KC Het Oude Westen (323 m). For secondary education, Het Praktijkcollege Centrum is 401 m away. This makes the area convenient for families with school-age children.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
nice place, plenty of entertainment
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!

Lived there during my student days

Auto-translated to English by AICool
Auto-translated to English by AII live diagonally opposite a coffee shop. When the coffee shop is closed, dealing continues cheerfully in a parking lot that I look out onto from my apartment. I really don't find that pleasant or safe. And my porch is used as a toilet by homeless people, which is also not very pleasant. This is because close to where I live there is a Salvation Army shelter.

Auto-translated to English by AIA lot of vagrants. Police are quick to respond, but it's a shame it's necessary.

How residents experience their municipality
Het is net een klein dorpje, je kunt overal fijn heen fietsen of lopen. Er is ook openbaar vervoer wat het nog makkelijker maakt om ergens heen te gaan. Niet al te ver van het centrum af.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for a few years. There's litter on the ground. But the supermarkets are good in the neighbourhood and there's a community centre. Nice!
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood. The airport is nearby, but you don't hear a thing. Zestienhovenpark is great for walking or jogging. Many families with children live here. There is a lot of greenery and you see many birds. The best neighbourhood

Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I was born here so I grew up with the neighbourhood as it is now.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe facilities and the apartment itself are nice. But around the building there is a lot of rubbish on the street and junkies.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is and remains a village
