A pre-war apartment in Blijdorp
This 93 m² apartment on Bisschopstraat sits in a quiet pocket of Blijdorp, where neighbours still greet each other on the street. The building dates from 1933 and had an E energy label, so heating costs were something to budget for. At €437,500, the asking price was slightly below the neighbourhood average of €467,000, making it a keen option for a pre-war flat in this part of Rotterdam. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one was priced to move. This home has not been online since 16 July 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Bisschopstraat 36B02, Rotterdam
Was €437,500 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €437,500 was below the neighbourhood average of €467,000 and the median of €450,000. Given the 93 m² floor area, that worked out to about €4,704 per m², which was lower than the Blijdorp average of €5,245 per m². So it was priced keenly for a pre-war apartment with an E label.
What is the neighbourhood like?
Blijdorp is a quiet, green neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. Residents mention that people greet each other on the street and help out when needed. The Vroesenpark and Diergaarde Blijdorp are nearby, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. It's urban but peaceful.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
Albert Heijn is 231 metres away, just around the corner. PLUS is 420 metres away, a couple of streets further. There are also Dirk and SPAR express within about 800 metres, so daily shopping is very convenient.
What schools are nearby?
Primary school Dominicus is 171 metres away, and OBS de Blijberg is 358 metres, both within a five-minute walk. For secondary education, the Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam is 354 metres away, and Montessori Mavo is 756 metres. So school runs are easy on foot.
How is public transport in Blijdorp?
The metro is nearby (residents mention it in reviews), and the train station is 2.2 km away, about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle.
What is the energy label E like?
Energy label E means the home is not very energy-efficient. In Blijdorp, 44% of homes have a label D or lower, so it's not unusual for a pre-war building. It's worth considering improvements like insulation.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing did not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor space. The Vroesenpark is just 200 metres away for green space.
