Blijdorp, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1936 apartment on the Schieweg sits in the heart of Blijdorp, a neighbourhood that feels like a village within Rotterdam. With 104 m² of living space, it's a generous size for a city flat. The energy label F means heating costs will be noticeable, but the price of €400,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €467,000, especially given the growing demand for apartments in Rotterdam.
Blijdorp is one of Rotterdam's most popular neighbourhoods, and it's easy to see why. Residents describe it as a "quiet neighbourhood where neighbours know and help each other when needed." Another calls it "cosy, quiet with nice people" and highlights the nearby Vroesenpark and Diergaarde Blijdorp. The area is densely populated (over 10,000 residents) with a mix of ages, though many live alone. The neighbourhood Blijdorp has a strong sense of community, with people greeting each other on the street.
Your morning bread run is just around the corner: Albert Heijn, Aldi and PLUS are all within a couple of streets away. For school runs, De Margriet primary school is a five-minute walk, and Montessori Mavo secondary school is even closer. The Vroesenpark is on your doorstep for a weekend stroll. The municipality Rotterdam keeps the city well-connected, though the train station is a ten-minute walk away.

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 Schieweg 52D, Rotterdam
The asking price of €400,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €467,000 and the median of €450,000. Given the 104 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €3,846, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €5,245 per m². So it's priced keenly for the market.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means the home will have higher heating costs compared to a more modern property. In Blijdorp, only about 5% of homes have label A or better, while 44% have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war building.
