The Blijdorp neighbourhood is well connected, with a metro station a short distance away and the park just around the corner.

Frequently asked questions
About Cleyburchstraat 53B, Rotterdam
Was €925 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €925 was significantly below the average of €2,305 for rentals in Blijdorp, and it was also the lowest rent at the time available in the neighbourhood. However, the floor area of 45 m² is smaller than the typical rental home in the area, which averages 95 m². So the price reflected a compact home, but it remained on the low side compared to what was generally on offer.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D, which is an official registration recorded in the national energy label database. A D label is in the middle of the scale, meaning the home is neither particularly efficient nor the least efficient.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.2 kilometres from the home. That is a manageable distance if you commute by rail, though you would need to factor in a short cycle or bus ride to reach it. The neighbourhood also has a metro station nearby, which residents mention as a convenient way to get around the city.
