More and more foreigners come to live here, they form groups; out of the entire street there are maybe 10 white families. Everything could be better.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur neighbourhood is a cosy neighbourhood, especially in the summer. People are cheerful and play nice music. There is plenty to do and there are quite a few shops in the area. It would be nice if a supermarket were to open that is a bit closer. There are also many families with children. I like that because I have a son myself. We have been living in Bloemhof for 15 years now.

About Dordtselaan 244B, Rotterdam
The asking price is 30% below the average asking price in Bloemhof (€297,630) and also below the median of €290,000. Given that the apartment is 58 m² (34% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 88 m²), the price per m² works out at about €3,603, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €3,449. So it's priced keenly for its size, but the low absolute price reflects the compact floor area.
Bloemhof is a densely populated urban neighbourhood with a mix of families and singles. It scores 5.24 out of 10 from eight reviews. One resident calls it "cosy and noisy" with cheerful summer vibes and plenty of shops, while another describes it as "extremely dirty and bad neighbourhood". The area has a high crime rate (774 total offences) and a very high address density (6,406 per km²), so it's lively but not for everyone.

In Bloemhof, 24.6% of homes have label C, while 36.8% have D or lower, so this home is slightly better than many older properties in the area.
The listing does not explicitly state the number of bedrooms, but with 58 m² of living space, it is likely a two-bedroom apartment. However, you would need to confirm the exact layout with the agent.
