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 3A, Rotterdam
The asking price is 23% below the average asking price in Blijdorp (€467,000), but the apartment is also 41% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 93 m². Given the compact size and E energy label, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a pre-war flat in this area.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In Blijdorp, 44.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 1935 apartment.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. Residents mention that the metro is nearby, and the neighbourhood is well-connected for getting around Rotterdam.
Blijdorp has a mix of ages, with many singles and couples. About 18% of households have children. The area is quiet and green, with parks and schools within walking distance, so it can work for families, though the apartment itself is compact.
