Bloemhof, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor flat on Groene Hilledijk sits in the lively Bloemhof neighbourhood. At 54 m², it's a compact home with a D energy label, built in 1925. The asking price of €195,000 is 34% below the neighbourhood average of €297,630, making it a keen entry point into Rotterdam's housing market. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size.
Bloemhof is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a mix of cultures and a young population. One resident describes it as "cosy and noisy", especially in summer, with cheerful music and plenty of shops. Another calls it "extremely dirty and bad", noting a changing demographic. A third simply says "a bit dead with all those Dutchies". Based on three reviews, opinions are mixed. The area has many families with children, and average household incomes are below the city average. The neighbourhood Bloemhof is one of Rotterdam's most diverse.
For daily groceries, you have a Lidl and an Albert Heijn both just around the corner, and a Dirk a couple of streets away. Primary schools are on your doorstep: Christelijke Basisschool Willem van Oranje is a five-minute walk, and De Schakel is similarly close. The municipality Rotterdam offers extensive public transport, though the nearest train station is a ten-minute cycle away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via several channels, including Tweelwonen Rotterdam, Vastgoed Nederland and Funda.

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 Groene Hilledijk 221D, Rotterdam
The asking price is 34% below the average asking price in Bloemhof (€297,630), and also below the median of €290,000. Given the compact 54 m² size and D energy label, the price is keen compared to other homes in the neighbourhood. However, the flat is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 88 m², so the price per square metre is in line with the local market.
Bloemhof is a very densely populated urban area (over 6,400 addresses per km²) with a young, diverse population. Residents have mixed views: some enjoy the lively, cosy atmosphere with music and shops, while others mention dirt and noise. There are many families with children, and the area has a high proportion of pre-war housing.
The closest supermarkets are a Lidl and an Albert Heijn, both about 520 metres away, a five-minute walk. A Dirk is slightly further at 571 metres. For a larger selection, there are many other supermarkets within a couple of kilometres.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: Christelijke Basisschool Willem van Oranje (191 m), SBO Laurens Cupertino (195 m), and De Schakel (222 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 0.9 km away.
The home has energy label D. This is a moderate rating, heating and electricity costs will be higher than in a modern, well-insulated home, but not extreme. In Bloemhof, about 37% of homes have label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, which is about a 10-minute cycle or a 35-minute walk.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The flat is on the first floor, so outdoor space is unlikely unless specified by the agent.
