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 Sonmansstraat 28A02, Rotterdam
The asking price of €395,000 is 15% below the average asking price in Blijdorp (€467,000) and also below the median of €450,000. Given the 87 m² floor area, that works out to about €4,540 per m², compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,245 per m². So it's priced keenly for the area.
The energy label is D. That means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a more modern property. In Blijdorp, 44% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. The metro is closer, as residents mention in reviews.
