Bospolder, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Schiedamseweg sits in the thick of things, with the Dirk supermarket on your doorstep and the city's energy all around. Built in 1951, it has a label D energy rating, so heating costs are something to factor in. At €380,000, the price is a touch below the neighbourhood average for apartments, which makes it a keen entry point compared to other apartments in Rotterdam.
Bospolder is a dense, lively part of Delfshaven with a strong sense of community. One resident says: "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." The neighbourhood Bospolder is very strongly urban, with over 5600 addresses per square kilometre, and a mix of ages, many 25-45 year olds, but also families with children.
For your morning bread, the Dirk is just around the corner, and an Aldi and Albert Heijn are a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including the Shri Saraswatieschool and the Nicolaasschool. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the city's amenities, from museums to markets, and the tram and bus network are extensive.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Makelaarskantoor Langejan and also appears on other channels, so you have a couple of ways to view it.
