Blijdorp, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1933 apartment on Bijlwerffstraat has an energy label A, which is very efficient for a pre-war home. At €435,000, the price is slightly below the neighbourhood median of €450,000, and the 69 m² floor area is 26% smaller than the Blijdorp average of 93 m², so the price per square metre is on the high side compared to other apartments in Rotterdam.

Based on five reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.55 out of 10. The area is densely populated (5,196 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of apartments, with many single-person households. For more, see the neighbourhood Blijdorp.

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 Bijlwerffstraat 25A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €435,000 is below the neighbourhood median of €450,000 and the average of €467,000. However, the apartment is 69 m², which is 26% smaller than the Blijdorp average of 93 m². So while the total price is lower, the price per square metre is higher than average. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the efficient energy label A and the quiet location.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient, especially for a home built in 1933. In Blijdorp, only about 4.6% of homes have label A or better, so this is a standout feature. You can expect relatively low heating costs compared to older homes with poorer labels.
Public transport is good. The nearest metro station is just around the corner, and Rotterdam Central station is about 2.2 km away, a ten-minute walk or short cycle.
Albert Heijn is just around the corner (196 m), and PLUS is a couple of streets away (487 m). There are also several primary schools within walking distance, including Dominicus (292 m) and OBS de Blijberg (473 m). The Vroesenpark is on your doorstep (200 m), and there are plenty of restaurants nearby.
Currently, there are 139 apartments for sale in Blijdorp, with prices ranging from €275,000 to €1,750,000. The average price per square metre is €5,245. This apartment is priced at €6,304 per m², which is above average, but the energy label A and quiet location may justify the premium.
Blijdorp has a total of 739 reported crimes, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. Residents generally describe it as quiet and safe, with neighbours looking out for each other. The Vroesenpark nearby is a popular and well-used green space.
