A first home in Bloemhof
This apartment on the Dordtselaan sits in Bloemhof, a lively part of Rotterdam where the streets fill with music in the summer and neighbours know each other by name.

At €204,500 the asking price is keen, sitting 30% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €292,592. For context, that average is based on the 72 homes currently for sale in the area, and it makes this one of the more accessible entries into the local market.

The monthly homeowners association contribution is €137.14, which covers the shared costs of the building.
