Auto-translated to English by AIit's a nice neighbourhood, right next to Vroesepark! In my opinion, there's not much to do for young people, for that you have to go to the city centre.

About Besemerstraat 12A02, Rotterdam
The asking price of €439,500 is below the average sale price in Blijdorp (€467,000) and the median (€450,000). Given the 90 m² floor area and energy label E, it's priced keenly compared to other apartments in the neighbourhood. However, the pre-war construction (1935) and energy label mean you may face higher heating costs.
Blijdorp is a quiet, green neighbourhood with a mix of older and younger residents. Residents appreciate the nearby Vroesenpark and Diergaarde Blijdorp, and note that people greet each other on the street. Public transport is good, with a metro station within walking distance. The area has a strong sense of community, though some mention a lack of community spirit among individuals.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride. The metro station is closer and provides a direct link to the city centre.
Albert Heijn and PLUS supermarkets are within a couple of streets away. For schools, Dominicus primary school is on your doorstep, and Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam (secondary) is a five-minute walk. Several other schools are within a ten-minute walk.
Energy label E indicates the apartment is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher energy bills compared to a home with a better label. In Blijdorp, 44.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is common for pre-war buildings. Improvements like insulation could help reduce costs.
There are currently 139 apartments for sale in Blijdorp, with prices ranging from €275,000 to €1,750,000. The average price per m² is €5,245, so this apartment at €4,883 per m² is below average.
