About Oostendamstraat 155A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €275,000 is below the average sold price in Bloemhof (€284,292) and the average asking price (€297,630). Given the 87 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €3,161, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €3,449 per m². So it appears keenly priced compared to other homes in the area.
Bloemhof is a very urban neighbourhood (address density 6,406 per km²) with a mix of cultures. Residents describe it as lively and cosy in summer, with cheerful music and many families. However, some note issues with cleanliness and a changing population. The area has a high proportion of pre-war housing (84.6%) and a relatively low homeownership rate (17%), so many residents rent.
The nearest supermarket is Lidl at 378 metres, just around the corner. Albert Heijn is 608 metres away, a five-minute walk. There are several other options within a kilometre, including another Lidl and Dirk, so daily shopping is convenient.
Theresiaschool primary school is just 147 metres away, on your doorstep. OBS De Akkers is 226 metres away, and De Schakel is 466 metres. All are within a short walk, making the area practical for families with young children.
The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, so it's not within walking distance for most. Given the high urbanity, you'll likely find frequent public transport options nearby.
The home has energy label C, which is average for an older apartment. It means the property is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, though exact amounts depend on usage. In Bloemhof, about 24.6% of homes have label C, while 36.8% have D or lower.
The CBS data records 774 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. Resident reviews are mixed: one mentions it's "cosy" while another calls it "extremely dirty and bad." It's best to visit at different times to get a feel for safety.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
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.

Auto-translated to English by AINice cosy neighbourhood, supermarkets are nearby, many schools near Hillesluis. Friendly neighbours, everyone is often actively involved in the neighbourhood, e.g. with burglaries or when there have been incidents in the area. You are quickly informed.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a neighbourhood with cosy, cheerful little houses. It is going downhill though. A lot of nuisance and no respect for others. Lots of noise pollution and neglect of the gardens.

Auto-translated to English by AII think my neighbourhood is nice and cosy, everyone knows each other and always ready for a chat.
Auto-translated to English by AIA very unfriendly and unsafe environment for both adults and children. Every month there is a woman/girl raped, people shooting wildly, or a burglary. It is not recommended to go outside after dark. Neighbours don't greet each other and there is always tension between neighbours. Children who tear up flowers/plants. Parents who say nothing about it.

How residents experience their municipality
Het is net een klein dorpje, je kunt overal fijn heen fietsen of lopen. Er is ook openbaar vervoer wat het nog makkelijker maakt om ergens heen te gaan. Niet al te ver van het centrum af.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for a few years. There's litter on the ground. But the supermarkets are good in the neighbourhood and there's a community centre. Nice!
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood. The airport is nearby, but you don't hear a thing. Zestienhovenpark is great for walking or jogging. Many families with children live here. There is a lot of greenery and you see many birds. The best neighbourhood

Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I was born here so I grew up with the neighbourhood as it is now.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe facilities and the apartment itself are nice. But around the building there is a lot of rubbish on the street and junkies.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is and remains a village
