Blijdorp, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1938 apartment on Schepenstraat sits in a quiet pocket of Blijdorp, with the Vroesenpark just a couple of streets away. At 146 m² it's a good deal larger than most homes in the area, and with an energy label B it's reasonably efficient for its age. The asking price of €575,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but the extra space explains much of that, apartments in Rotterdam of this size don't come up often.
Blijdorp is a leafy, urban neighbourhood where people still greet each other on the street. One resident calls it a "quiet neighbourhood where neighbours know and help each other when needed", while another describes it as "cosy, quiet neighbourhood with nice people". The Vroesenpark and Diergaarde Blijdorp are nearby, and the metro provides a quick link to the city centre. The area has a mix of ages, though many households are singles, the average household size is 1.7. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Blijdorp.
For groceries, Dirk is on your doorstep, and Albert Heijn is just around the corner. There are several schools within a five-minute walk: Wolfert ISK and Wolfert College are both a couple of streets away, and primary school De Provenier is about 240 metres. The municipality Rotterdam offers plenty of restaurants and bars nearby too.

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.
