NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Sonmansstraat sits in a quiet pocket of Blijdorp, a neighbourhood known for its green squares and the nearby Vroesenpark. At 52 m² it is compact, and the asking price of €350,000 is 25% below the neighbourhood average of €469,014, partly because the floor area is 44% smaller than the typical home here. Energy label B means it is reasonably efficient for a 1935 building. For more context, see other apartments in Rotterdam.

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.
