The asking price of €180,000 is 43% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €317,875, which puts it on the keen side compared with other homes in the area. For context, the average asking price per m² in the neighbourhood is €2,617, while this home's price per m² comes to €2,903 based on the agent's floor area.

Inside the home
The apartment has four rooms in total, with one bedroom and one bathroom. The agent lists the living area at 62 m², while the BAG registration records 68 m², so there's a small difference between the two figures. The energy label is G, which is the least efficient label, so expect higher energy costs. The home was built in 1937, a fact that speaks to its age but says nothing about its condition. The listing doesn't mention any garden, balcony, or garage, so outdoor space isn't part of the picture.
Life in the Bloemenbuurt
Residents give the Bloemenbuurt an average score of 5.38 out of 10, based on four reviews. One resident says: "You can sum it up as follows: my experience with the Bloemenbuurt is very negative. In two consecutive situations, we had neighbours who caused a lot of nuisance. There were concerns about drug activities, the safety of children, and serious incidents in the neighbourhood, including a car explosion. As a result, I don't feel safe here and I wouldn't choose to live in this neighbourhood myself." Another resident notes: "After living in this neighbourhood for many years, a lot has changed in the meantime; many neighbours cause division among the residents, and they just do whatever they can't help doing. It must be the times, but it used to be nice living here." A third review mentions "a lot of gossip about neighbours," with the resident adding that "people often cluster together to badmouth other neighbours." With just four reviews, these are personal experiences rather than a broad picture. The neighbourhood has around 1,350 residents, and 62% of households are single-person households.
