Many junkies and psychiatric people. Lots of shouting. Lots of rubbish. Poorly maintained. Positive: tram connection
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's not Charlois anymore. I've been harassed several times. Once I was even chased by a tinted person with a face mask while they haven't been worn for a long time. Then as a woman you feel very small. The school is lagging behind because too many children don't speak Dutch, including our children who suffer. Since the flat was renovated, everything has gone downhill. You can count the Dutch on one hand now, it used to be different. They make a mess of it and around the flat there are regularly those balloons, gas cylinders behind the lift, 30 or so. Accessibility is good, the only positive. I have no words for it, but still nothing is done about it.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe live on a nice street with friendly neighbours. Most people say hello on the street, which was different in the village where we used to live. Because this is a close-knit neighbourhood, it's nice and pleasant that people look out for each other. The butcher/supermarket around the corner is unfortunately gone, so we walk to the MCD. Perfectly doable. Public transport is also within walking distance. It's a shame that sometimes household items are left outside and that when bins are overflowing, rubbish is placed next to them. That's why hygiene scores a bit lower here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have seen and experienced nasty things here. More and more old Rotterdammers are dying and newcomers are replacing them, all kinds of newcomers. The neighbourhood is full of plastic and rubbish on the grass patches and people sometimes throw dirty nappies from balconies into the harbour. Painful to see but the Municipality of Rotterdam keeps it reasonably well maintained, though they could send litter pickers more often.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn my opinion and experience, I find Oud Charlois a pleasant and quiet neighbourhood. It feels like a village within a city. With lots of greenery, playgrounds. Centrally located, you can be in the city centre/Zuidplein/Feijenoord in 10 minutes. I wouldn't want to live in any other neighbourhood.

About Portlandstraat 10, Rotterdam
The asking price is 37% above the neighbourhood average of €326,555, so it's on the high side. However, this is a terraced house with an A energy label, built in 1997, while many homes in Oud Charlois are older. The price per m² is about €4,582, compared to the neighbourhood average of €3,964.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. You can expect low energy bills compared to older homes. In Oud Charlois, only 20.8% of homes have label A, so this is a good score.
Resident reviews are mixed. One says it's a "Great neighbourhood", but others mention feeling unsafe, with reports of harassment and rubbish. The total number of crimes in the area is 819, but without context it's hard to compare. It's best to visit the area yourself.
There are several schools within walking distance. Wilhelminaschool primary school is about 323 m away, and Hugo de Groot secondary school is 307 m away. Other primaries include basisschool Wereldwijs (359 m) and Ibn i-Sina (423 m).
The nearest train station is 4.9 km away, so you'll need a bike, bus, or car for train travel. Tram connections are mentioned positively in one review.
MCD is 579 m away, Aldi 604 m, and PLUS 670 m. All are within a ten-minute walk, so daily shopping is convenient.
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot is 95 m², but that includes the footprint of the house, so outdoor space may be limited.
