Bloemhof, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 56 m² apartment on Lange Hilleweg sits in the lively Rotterdam neighbourhood of Bloemhof. Built in 1982, it has an energy label D, so heating costs are something to keep an eye on. At €230,000, the asking price is 23% below the neighbourhood average of €297,630, a keen price for a starter home.

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.
