Blijdorp, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Nobelstraat sits in Blijdorp, a leafy pocket of Rotterdam where the city feels a little quieter. At 63 m² it's compact but well-proportioned, with an energy label C and a 1934 build that gives it character. The asking price of €425,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €467,000, but it reflects the smaller floor area, 32% smaller than the typical 93 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size.
Blijdorp is one of Rotterdam's greener neighbourhoods, with the Vroesenpark and Diergaarde Blijdorp just a stroll away. Residents describe it as a quiet, cosy area 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. Lots of greenery.' The area is densely populated, over 10,000 residents, and mostly consists of apartments, with 56% owner-occupied homes. It's a mix of ages, though the largest group is 25-45 year olds. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Blijdorp page.
For your morning bread run, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with PLUS a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: Dominicus primary school is a five-minute walk, and the Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam is even closer.

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 Nobelstraat 109A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €425,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €467,000, but this apartment is also smaller than the typical home in Blijdorp (63 m² vs 93 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €6,746, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,245 per m². So it's on the high side, but the compact size and good energy label C may appeal to buyers looking for a manageable home in a popular area.
Blijdorp is a green, quiet neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. Residents mention that people greet each other on the street and help out when needed. The Vroesenpark and Diergaarde Blijdorp are nearby, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. It's a densely populated area with mostly apartments, and a mix of ages, though many residents are between 25 and 45.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride. The area is well served by public transport, including metro stops nearby.
There are several schools within walking distance. Dominicus primary school is about 268 m away, De Margriet primary school is 368 m, and OBS de Blijberg is 490 m. For secondary education, the Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam is just 190 m away, and Montessori Mavo is 557 m.
The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a home of this age. It means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, but you can expect moderate heating costs.
