Blijdorp, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Kappeynestraat sits in the heart of Blijdorp, a leafy neighbourhood just north of Rotterdam's centre. At 97 m² with an energy label C, it's a solid size for a couple or a small family. The asking price of €525,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €467,000, but that reflects the larger floor area and the fact that apartments in Rotterdam in this part of town are always in demand.
Blijdorp is one of Rotterdam's greener corners, with the Vroesenpark and Diergaarde Blijdorp just a stroll away. Residents describe it as a quiet neighbourhood where people still greet each other on the street. One resident says: "Quiet neighbourhood where neighbours know and help each other when needed." Another adds: "Cosy, quiet neighbourhood with nice people." The area is densely populated, over 5,000 addresses per km², and mostly consists of apartments, with a mix of ages and many single-person households. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Blijdorp page.
For your morning bread, PLUS is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. School runs are easy: De Margriet primary school is on your doorstep, and the Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam is a five-minute walk for secondary education. The municipality Rotterdam offers plenty of parks and restaurants nearby, so weekends are well catered for.
At the time of writing the home is listed via REMAX Totaal Makelaars and also appears on Vastgoed Nederland, so it's available through several channels.

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 Kappeynestraat 4A, Rotterdam
The asking price is €525,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of €467,000 and the median of €450,000. However, this apartment is 97 m², while the average sold apartment in Blijdorp is 93 m². Given the larger size and the fact that similar homes in the area sell within 45 days on average, the price is on the high side but not unreasonable for a well-sized apartment in a popular neighbourhood.
The energy label is C, which is average for an apartment built in 1947. In Blijdorp, 41.2% of homes have label C, and 44.3% have D or lower. A C label means reasonable insulation and moderate energy costs, but you can expect higher bills than a modern A-rated home.
