Ready to upgrade to your next accommodation? Our co-living house is looking for new tenants!

If you are looking for a peaceful and quiet location to live, but with a lot of facilities and like-minded people around, this house has a lot to offer.
Living in a community of young professionals is a way to avoid paying a high price for a private apartment, and to avoid social isolation, while having the benefits of living a in a relatively big house and meeting like-minded people who are in a similar face of their lives.

Our co-living house, or “shared living community”, combines a private bedroom with communal living facilities: shared kitchen and living room, and a small garden, to enjoy fresh air and the sun.

Each person living in the house has its own private room, perfectly formed for moments of solitude or your own private moments. The bedrooms have a big window that can be opened to keep fresh air coming in.
The bedrooms share the bathrooms. Every week a cleaning professional comes to clean the common area including the bathrooms.

For your social moments, you just enter the living room to find other people that are happy for a talk, watch some Netflix, or cook a meal together.
Live together as you build your career in Rotterdam. Our community will give you a kick start of your professional career in the city.

This neighborhood is known to be family-friendly and has attracted a lot of young people; the average age being between 25 and 44 years old.
The surroundings of the house are very green and peaceful and offer a lot of open space, green areas and water.
The house is easily reachable and has a lot of facilities like restaurants, shops and a supermarket within walking distance. With the house located a few minutes’ walk from metro line C, you will benefit from a short commute to the heart of Rotterdam.

For those owning a car: the house has a private parking spot, and there is enough parking space in the surrounding neighborhood as well.

COMMUNITY:

The housemates in this house live as a co-living community, or in Dutch "huishouden". This means that the housemates are looking for:
- in short: we like to live as a group of friends together, almost like a family. Think of the TV-serie "Friends".
- that means, we look for someone that:
- has the intention to live for a longer term in this house, not just a few months: we like to make a friendly relationship with the housemates.
- we like to have dinners each other (not every day, but regularly, like in a family).
- we like to do regularly social activities together with the housemates, like visiting a museum, watching a movie, etc.
- we have 1 bank account with the house, for the shared expenses. We use the bank Bunq which has a great mobile app for shared houses. We will ask you to contribute on this bank account too, for expenses like salt, pepper, cleaning liquids, etc.
- this does not mean that we cuddle every night with the housemates on the couch. The things that we want to avoid is distancing: we want to avoid individualistic people who have completely separated lives and have no idea about their other housemates. We like our privacy too, and we have our jobs, and our own friends, but we also like the house community; just like in a family: brothers & sisters living together but also having their own lives & own privacy.


Lay-out of the house:
- Ground floor: Shared toilet, shared living room, shared kitchen and shared garden (for all).
- section A: ground floor. 2 bedrooms.
- section B: 1st floor: 3 bed rooms. 2 bathrooms.
- section C: 2nd floor: 2 bedrooms.

DISTANCES:

- in the Netherlands, public transport is in good condition: the connections are great, the reach is far, and the transport is safe.
On top of that, the bike is a very popular way of getting around the city, because it is safe and quick. Using the bike is safe, because basically every car road, has a separate bike road "fietspad". Just google for yourself "fietspad", and you can see the images of a Dutch bike road. A car is hardly used by students, and working people are also using their cars less and less. Even the Dutch prime minster goes by bike to his work! (you can google the images of that too :-)
- Supermarkets: Albert Heijn (350 meters), Aldi (800 meters).
- Sportclub: Anytime Fitness (300 meters).
- Offices at Brainpark area: 26 by bike, 23 by public transport (metro, direct connection)
- Erasmus University Rotterdam: 24 min by bike, 23 min by public transport (metro, direct connection).
- City Center 'Beurs': 35 min by bike, 23 min by public transport (metro, direct connection).
- Offices on Weena area: 35 min by bike, 32 min by public transport (metro, 1 stop over).
- Central Train Station: 35 min by bike, 32 min by public transport (metro, 1 stop over).
- Erasmus Medical Center MC: 38 min by bike, 24 min by public transport (metro, direct connection).
- Codarts, m(hidden)uilding, at street Kruisplein: 33 min by bike, 29 min by public transport (metro, direct connection).
- TU Delft: 1h10m by public transport (metro + train) - researchers working at TU Delft, are welcome to live in this house, although it advised to live closer to city Delft, to save you the long travel every day.
- Park: there are many small parks around the neighborhood. One of the biggest parks in the Rotterdam region is 7 minutes by bike, called "het Schollebos".
- North sea beach: 1h10m by metro (point: Hoek van Holland Haven).

NOT FOR PARTYING:

Please note: this neighborhood is a residential neighborhood: your neighbors will be families, so it's a quiet neighborhood. Furthermore, please note that the metro/bus stops operating at 00:30 am. You should take a taxi/uber or the bike back after a night out.
Therefore, it is not the right thing to have parties in the house. Partying you can do in the city center. The house is excellent for people that enjoy a quiet environment and a peaceful life.

--
NOT FOR WORKING FROM HOME:
It is not allowed to work from home from the living room in this house: the idea is to have a relaxed vibe in the living area, and working from your laptop in the living room is not part of that. You can work from home from your bedroom, that is allowed, however, given the space of the bedrooms (see pictures) it will not be a nice environment to work there 8+ hours a day. It is therefore adviced to work from your office or a coffeebar. In any case: do not work from the living room, to give enough living space to the other housemates.

COSTS / BILLS:

For the sake of clarity and to avoid misunderstanding, hereby a list of all the costs involved in renting this apartment.
Please note, it looks a lot, but all other apartments in Rotterdam will have more or less the same costs. I just want to be transparent on the costs:

1. Monthly rent. Price: see mentioned in the advertisement.
2. One-time service fee by HousingAnywhere: this price you can see in this advertisement. This fee is for using this website.
3. One-time administration fee: the agency charges 260 euros for the bed inventory package (see explained below). In this advertisement, it is referred to as "administration fee".
4. One-time "other" fee: the agency charges a 115 euros for assisting with the paperwork involved around moving in.
5. One-time deposit: The deposit is refundable: when you leave the house at the contract ending date, and you didn’t break or ruin anything, it will be given back to you. The price of the deposit is mentioned in this advertisement.
5. Monthly gas & electricity: the bill for gas & electricity is currently 437 euros a month, to be paid with the housemates (7 people, thus 63 euros each per month ). If you manage to reduce the usage, then after 12 months the energy company will give a refund. If you use more during the 12 months, the price will go up.
6. Yearly municipality taxes: water tax and garbage tax. In Rotterdam, if you rent an apartment, a tenant pays taxes for the garbage collection, and for the water usage.
- every tenant receives these tax bills in Rotterdam, no matter where you rent an apartment.
- the municipality will send you a bill, with instructions how to pay it. Paying goes by internet through a portal of the municipality.
- the 2 taxes are in total a sum of around 800 Euros for the total apartment per year.
- the taxes you pay 1x per year (each year around March).
10. Cleaning: cleaning of the common areas (living room etc) once a week is included in the rent. At moving out, the agency charges 125 euros per bedroom cleaning fee. In case the apartment is more dirty than expected, the agency will charge a higher fee.
