Bospolder, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1911 apartment on the Schiedamseweg has a generous 131 m² of living space, which is 44% larger than the average in the neighbourhood. The energy label is D, so heating costs are something to keep an eye on. At €550,000, the asking price is 25% above the neighbourhood average of €440,241, which is on the high side, but you are paying for the extra space. For context, apartments in Rotterdam in this price range are not uncommon.
Bospolder is a dense, urban part of Delfshaven with a very strong city feel (over 5,600 addresses per km²). The population is mixed: many young adults and families, with a fair share of single-person households. One resident describes it as a "good neighbourhood" with a nice street where neighbours look out for each other, but notes a lack of greenery and some run-down houses. The neighbourhood Bospolder has a high crime rate (681 incidents), which is something to consider.
For groceries, you have a Jumbo just around the corner, and a Dirk, Aldi and Albert Heijn within a ten-minute walk. The Valentijnschool primary school is a couple of streets away, and there are several other schools nearby. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, so despite the resident's comment about limited greenery, there is some green space close by. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the amenities you would expect from a major city.

We have a very nice street, neighbours look out for each other and help each other when needed. I should add that we are all the first residents, so we know each other. It's just a shame that there is no greenery and there are still houses in the area that are in dire need of a major overhaul. As for greenery, it's poverty stricken in the neighbourhood, and there is little for children. There are a few trees on the street, that's it.

About Schiedamseweg 10A, Rotterdam

The price per m² works out to about €4,198, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,060 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting more space for your money.

The nearest train station is 3.2 km away, so it is not within walking distance. However, the area is very well served by trams and buses, given the high urban density.

There are several primary schools within walking distance, and a park is just 200 m away. One resident noted that there is little greenery and few facilities for children, so it may not be ideal for everyone.
The neighbourhood recorded 681 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high. This is something to be aware of, though the resident review mentions that neighbours look out for each other on their street.
