Blijdorp, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Statenweg in Blijdorp sits in a quiet, leafy pocket of the city. At €360,000, the asking price is 23% below the neighbourhood average of €467,000, partly because the 65 m² floor area is 30% smaller than the typical Blijdorp home. For comparison, other apartments in Rotterdam in this price bracket are often smaller or in less central areas.
Blijdorp is a sought-after area where neighbours still greet each other on the street. One resident describes it as a "quiet neighbourhood where neighbours know and help each other when needed," while another calls it "cosy, quiet neighbourhood with nice people." The Vroesenpark and Diergaarde Blijdorp are nearby, and the area has a mix of older and younger residents. Most homes were built before 1945, giving the streets a pre-war character. The neighbourhood Blijdorp is densely populated, with many singles and a lively, urban feel.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and PLUS is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools, Dominicus and OBS de Blijberg, are within a five-minute walk, making the school run easy. The municipality Rotterdam provides excellent public transport, with a metro stop nearby and a train station 2.2 km away. Restaurants and bars are a couple of streets away, so you can enjoy a night out without travelling far.

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 Statenweg 4D, Rotterdam
The asking price of €360,000 is 23% below the Blijdorp average of €467,000, but the apartment is also 30% smaller than the typical home in the area. Given the 65 m² floor area and energy label D, the price is in line with what you would expect for a pre-war apartment of this size in a popular neighbourhood.
Blijdorp is a quiet, green neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. Residents describe it as a place where neighbours know and help each other. The Vroesenpark and Diergaarde Blijdorp are nearby, and there are plenty of shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance. Public transport is excellent, with a metro stop close by.
The nearest supermarket is Albert Heijn, just 402 metres away, about a five-minute walk. PLUS is 568 metres away, and there are several other supermarkets within a kilometre, so daily shopping is very convenient.
Two primary schools are within walking distance: Dominicus (235 m) and OBS de Blijberg (300 m). For secondary education, the Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam is 508 metres away, and Montessori Mavo is 916 metres away.
The energy label is D, which is typical for a pre-war apartment from 1950. This means heating costs will be moderate but not as low as a modern home. The majority of homes in Blijdorp have label C or lower, so this is in line with the area.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride. The metro is closer and provides a good alternative for getting around Rotterdam.
The listing does not mention a garden or balcony. As an apartment, it is likely that outdoor space is limited, but the Vroesenpark is just 200 metres away for green space.
