NeighbourhoodThis two-room apartment on Ericastraat in Rotterdam's Bloemhof neighbourhood is a rare find: a 1928 home with an A energy label, meaning low heating costs.

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 Ericastraat 9-01, Rotterdam
The asking price of €175,000 is 42% below the neighbourhood average of €301,557, which makes it keen. However, the flat is also smaller than average (50 m² vs 90 m²). Given the A energy label and the low price per m² compared to the neighbourhood average (€3,427/m²), it appears priced for a compact, efficient home.
The home has an energy label A, which is very efficient. This means you can expect low heating costs compared to older homes in the area (83% of neighbourhood homes were built before 1945). The A label is a strong selling point for a 1928 building.
Bloemhof has many families with children, as noted by residents. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including CBS De Akker (210 m) and Theresiaschool (425 m). The area is lively and diverse, with a mix of cultures and a strong community feel, especially in summer.
A Lidl is just around the corner (421 m), and a Dirk and Albert Heijn are within a five-minute walk. There are also many other shops in the area, as residents mention. A GP is 0.5 km away, and a park is 0.5 km away.
The nearest train station is 2.9 km from the home. This distance is walkable in about 35 minutes, or a short bike ride. The area is well connected by bus and tram as well.
In the most recent data, there were 774 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. This is a relatively high number for a neighbourhood of about 13,930 residents, but it's important to note that crime can vary by street. The area is urban and lively, which can come with some nuisance.
With a price 42% below the neighbourhood average and an A energy label, the flat has potential for good rental yield. The neighbourhood has a mix of tenants and homeowners, and the compact size may appeal to singles or couples. However, investment decisions depend on personal circumstances.
