The asking price of €375,000 is 20% below the average asking price in Blijdorp (€467,000). However, the apartment is also 44% smaller than the neighbourhood average (93 m²). Given the compact size and good energy label, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a 52 m² apartment in this area.

Blijdorp is a quiet, green neighbourhood with a mix of older and younger residents. Residents appreciate the nearby Vroesenpark and Diergaarde Blijdorp, and note that people still greet each other on the street. It's a peaceful area within the city, with good public transport and local shops.

The nearest supermarkets are Albert Heijn and PLUS, both about 400 metres away, just a few minutes' walk. SPAR express is about 800 metres away, and there are several other options within a kilometre.

Primary schools Dominicus and OBS de Blijberg are within 150 metres of the apartment. For secondary education, the Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam is about 400 metres away, and Montessori Mavo is around 800 metres away.

The nearest metro station is within walking distance, and the train station is 2.2 km away. The area is well-connected, with bus and tram options nearby as well.

The apartment has energy label B, which means it's reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect lower heating costs compared to older homes with labels D or lower, though exact costs depend on usage.

With 52 m² of living space, the apartment is compact and ideal for a single person or a couple. The layout is typical for a pre-war apartment, with separate rooms that can be arranged as needed.
