Oude Noorden, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 155 m² home on Jacob Catsstraat in Rotterdam's Oude Noorden is a generous find. Built in 1892, it combines period character with a practical energy label C. At €675,000, the asking price is 43% above the neighbourhood average of €470,689, but the floor area is 63% larger than the typical 95 m² in the area, so you're paying for space. For context, terraced houses in Rotterdam vary widely, and this one sits at the upper end.
The Oude Noorden neighbourhood is a dense, urban area with a strong sense of community. Based on seven reviews, residents appreciate the mix of nationalities and the fact that people know each other. One resident says: 'We know each other in this neighbourhood, it's a mix of all nationalities and very popular, and we live close to the Rotte.' Another adds: 'People are there for each other with help when needed, people still greet each other here and everyone knows each other.' However, hygiene on the streets is a recurring concern. The area is very urban (address density 7,495 per km²) and mostly consists of flats, with only 6% single-family homes.
For daily groceries, the Coop is on your doorstep, and an Albert Heijn is just around the corner. Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Prinses Julianaschool and Kindcentrum de Klimop. A secondary school, Horeca Vakschool Rotterdam, is also nearby. The neighbourhood falls under the municipality of Rotterdam, which means city services and amenities are close at hand.

This neighbourhood is a mix of all nationalities and very popular, and not to mention we live close to the Rotte
Auto-translated to English by AIWe've been living in this neighbourhood for 4 years now and it's fine, and people are there for each other with help when needed, people still greet each other here and everyone knows each other, only the hygiene could be better
Auto-translated to English by AIThe house is fine but people throw all sorts of things on the street, especially food, and I've been living in a construction pit for over 2 years.
Auto-translated to English by AII find the neighbourhood rather one-sided in terms of residents
Auto-translated to English by AIIn this neighbourhood you'll find cosy pubs, sports clubs, schools, an abundance of shops, a choice of almost every supermarket (except Jumbo). In the last few years, more and more students have come to live in and around the Zwart Janstraat (shopping street). That creates a lively atmosphere and occasionally some noise from parties, but I certainly don't mind it. It's a mix of various ethnicities, everyone is helpful and greets each other. A few years ago, the neighbourhood was really a mess, it seems to have improved a bit now, but you can't call it clean. The Zwart Janstraat was a Formula 1 circuit, but the municipality put a stop to that with extremely high thresholds and confusing one-way streets. Occasionally, some cars still race through the side streets with an enormous racket. I wouldn't let children play outside alone quickly, especially after dusk. There are sometimes unpredictable (sometimes addicted) individuals roaming around, especially past the Noordsingel around those small sports fields. My bike was stolen last year when I wasn't looking. Likewise, some other, more valuable belongings of residents. So watch your belongings. Crooswijk borders the Oude Noorden; this neighbourhood is often in the news in mid-2023 with bomb threats. I haven't seen or heard this kind of crime here, so I can't confirm that. All in all, a vibrant neighbourhood where you won't get bored with everything you need nearby. But with a slight ghetto feel (3 out of 10), that's how I would describe it to give you an idea ;).

The house was built in 1892, so it's over 130 years old. In the neighbourhood, 57% of homes were built before 1945, so this is common. Older homes often have character but may require more maintenance. The energy label C suggests some modernisation has been done, but you should expect typical upkeep for a period property.
