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 250B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €200,000 is 33% below the average asking price in Bloemhof (€297,630) and also below the median of €290,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (63 m² vs 88 m²) and has an E energy label, which may affect running costs. Given the lower price per m² (€3,174 vs the neighbourhood average of €3,449), it appears priced for its size and condition.
