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 Stadhoudersweg 32B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €349,000 is 25% below the average asking price in Blijdorp (€467,000) and also below the median (€450,000). Given that the apartment is 69 m², smaller than the neighbourhood average of 93 m², the price per m² works out to about €5,058, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €5,245 per m². So it's priced keenly for its size.
The apartment has energy label C. This is a middle-of-the-road rating: it means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy bills, but nothing extreme.
