Blijdorp, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1938 apartment on Schepenstraat brings a sense of history to your daily life, with high ceilings and original details that give it a feel all its own. At 102 m² and priced at €550,000, it sits 18% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood, a reflection of its size and location. For context, the average apartments in Rotterdam in this price bracket tend to be smaller, so you're paying for space and character.
Blijdorp is a quiet, green pocket of Rotterdam where neighbours still greet each other on the street. One resident describes it as a "quiet neighbourhood where neighbours know and help each other when needed," while another calls it "cosy, quiet neighbourhood with nice people." The Vroesenpark and Diergaarde Blijdorp are nearby, and the area has a mix of older and younger residents. Most homes here were built before 1945, and the neighbourhood Blijdorp has a strong sense of community, though one review notes it's "peaceful living in the city" with "many individuals, little sense of community."
Your morning bread run is just around the corner: Dirk is 43 metres away, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets further. For school runs, De Provenier primary school is a five-minute walk, and Wolfert College secondary school is even closer. The municipality Rotterdam has plenty of options, but here in Blijdorp you've got the essentials within a few minutes' walk, including a park just 200 metres away for a weekend stroll.

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 Schepenstraat 108A, Rotterdam
The asking price is 18% above the average asking price in Blijdorp, which is €467,000. However, this apartment is larger than the neighbourhood average (102 m² vs 93 m²) and has a pre-war character that many buyers value. Whether it's fair depends on how much you're willing to pay for extra space and original features.
The energy label is D. That's typical for a pre-war building, most homes in Blijdorp (44%) have a label D or lower. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home, but the character and location often compensate.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, so it's not on your doorstep. But residents mention the metro is nearby, and the area has good bus connections. For daily commuting, you'll likely rely on the metro or a bike.
Blijdorp has a mix of residents, with about 10% children under 15 and many singles. One resident says it's quiet and neighbours help each other, but another notes little sense of community. There are good schools nearby, including a primary school a five-minute walk away.
There are currently 139 apartments on the market in Blijdorp, with prices ranging from €275,000 to €1,750,000. The average price per m² is €5,245, so this apartment at roughly €5,392/m² is slightly above average.
A Dirk supermarket is just 43 metres away, and an Albert Heijn is 102 metres. There are also restaurants within a few minutes' walk, and the Vroesenpark is 200 metres away for green space.
