Auto-translated to English by AIit's a nice neighbourhood, right next to Vroesepark! In my opinion, there's not much to do for young people, for that you have to go to the city centre.

About Dresselhuysstraat 16B01, Rotterdam
The asking price is €529,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of €467,000 and the median of €450,000. However, this apartment is larger than average (106 m² vs 93 m²), so the price per m² (€4,990) is actually slightly below the neighbourhood average of €5,245.

The energy label is D. This is a common label for pre-war buildings in Blijdorp, where 44% of homes have label D or lower. A D label means the home is moderately efficient; heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but it's not the worst. You can expect to spend more on energy than with a B or A label.
The nearest metro station is within walking distance, and the train station is 2.2 km away. Residents mention good public transport connections. The neighbourhood is very urban (address density 5,196 per km²), so buses and trams are also frequent.
Residents describe Blijdorp as a quiet, friendly neighbourhood where people greet each other and help out. There's a mix of older and younger residents, with many singles (56% of households) and couples without children (30%). The average household size is 1.7, so it's not a typical family area, but there are families too.
Vroesenpark is just 200 m away, so you can be there in a two-minute walk. Diergaarde Blijdorp (the zoo) is also nearby. The neighbourhood has lots of greenery, as residents note.
Primary school De Margriet is 229 m away, and Dominicus is 428 m. For secondary education, Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam is 209 m, and Montessori Mavo is 433 m. There are also several other schools within a short walk.
The listing does not mention parking. In a dense urban neighbourhood like Blijdorp (address density 5,196 per km²), street parking is common but may require a permit. You would need to check with the municipality for specific parking arrangements.
For an apartment in a pre-war building, it typically covers maintenance of common areas, but the exact amount is not provided here.
