Delfshaven, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1889 townhouse on Voorstraat sits in the heart of Delfshaven, a neighbourhood where old Rotterdam meets a lively, creative energy. With 110 m² of living space and a small courtyard, it's a compact but characterful home. At €550,000, the asking price is 19% above the neighbourhood average of €461,878, so it's on the high side, but for a well-preserved period house in this sought-after area, that's not unusual. Terraced houses in Rotterdam in this price bracket are rare.
Delfshaven is one of Rotterdam's oldest neighbourhoods, with a mix of historic buildings, indie shops and waterside bars. Two residents give it a 7.28 average. One says: "Decent neighbourhood but nothing special, nice to have a park nearby", though they note some nuisance from youths and litter. Another calls it "Best fun neighbourhood!" and loves living opposite a school: "it always gives a cosy atmosphere and I don't really have much trouble with noise." The area is densely populated (5,123 addresses per km²) and very urban, with mostly flats and a young, single population. Delfshaven is a place where you're never far from a café or a canal.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, with Dirk and Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, Valentijnschool, is a five-minute walk, and there's a secondary school (MEX010) at the same distance. A park or public garden is a five-minute walk away, and a GP is within walking distance too. The neighbourhood has a high number of reported crimes (559 total), but residents' reviews suggest it's more about nuisance than serious safety issues.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Baljon makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

It's all fine but nothing special. There is some nuisance from youths, and often litter on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in Coolhaven! Opposite a school, which is really nice because it always gives a cosy atmosphere and I don't really have much trouble with noise. I live in a studio and prefer neighbours and a green view; at first there was quite a lot of construction but now that has also decreased a lot.

About Voorstraat 5, Rotterdam
The asking price is €550,000, which is 19% above the average asking price in Delfshaven (€461,878). However, this is a period townhouse with 110 m², which is larger than many homes in the area. The median price in the neighbourhood is €399,000, so this home is at the higher end of the market. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the historic character and location.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy bills, but it's not as efficient as a modern home with label A. In Delfshaven, about 28% of homes have label A or A+, so this is average for the area.
Delfshaven has a mix of residents, but only 780 households have children (out of 4,240 total). There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Valentijnschool and KC De Vlinder. One resident mentions living opposite a school and enjoying the cosy atmosphere. However, another notes some nuisance from youths and litter, so it's not a quiet suburban area.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance. Many residents cycle or use the metro from Delfshaven station.
At €550,000 for 110 m², the price per m² is about €5,000. The neighbourhood average is €4,599 per m², so you're paying a premium of roughly 9% per square metre. This reflects the historic character and the fact that townhouses are rare in Delfshaven (only 2% of homes are single-family).
The plot is 32 m², which typically includes a small courtyard or backyard. The listing does not specify a garden, but with a plot that size, there is some outdoor space. It's likely a compact, low-maintenance area rather than a large garden.
