Blijdorp, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 120 m² apartment on Statenweg sits in Blijdorp, a leafy pocket of Rotterdam where the city feels a little quieter. Built in 1933, it has the high ceilings and original details you'd expect from that era, but the energy label G means heating costs will be a real factor. At €575,000, the price is 23% above the neighbourhood average of €467,000, partly explained by the size, which is 29% larger than the typical 93 m² in the area. For context, that's a keen price compared to other apartments in Rotterdam of this size.
Blijdorp is one of Rotterdam's greener neighbourhoods, with the Vroesenpark and Diergaarde Blijdorp just a couple of streets away. Residents describe it as a quiet, cosy area where people still greet each other. One resident says: "Quiet neighbourhood where neighbours know and help each other when needed." Another adds: "Cosy, quiet neighbourhood with nice people." The area is popular with singles and couples, over half of households are one-person, and the average household size is 1.7. It's a very urban setting (over 5,000 addresses per km²), but the parks give it a relaxed feel. Read more about the neighbourhood Blijdorp.
For your morning bread run, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and PLUS is just around the corner. There are also several other supermarkets within a ten-minute walk. School runs are easy too: primary school Dominicus is a couple of streets away, and OBS de Blijberg is a five-minute walk. For secondary education, Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam is just around the corner. The Vroesenpark is a couple of streets away for a weekend stroll. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the city's amenities, but here you're in a calm residential enclave.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including @Work Makelaardij.

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 55A, Rotterdam
The asking price is 23% above the neighbourhood average of €467,000, but the apartment is also 29% larger than the typical 93 m² in Blijdorp. At €4,792 per m², it's below the neighbourhood average of €5,245 per m², so you're getting more space for your money. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the size and character versus the energy costs of a G-label home.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, so heating and electricity costs will be high compared to a modern home. The apartment was built in 1933 and likely has single glazing and poor insulation. In the neighbourhood, 44% of homes have label D or lower, so it's not unusual for the area, but you should budget for significant energy bills.
The nearest metro station is within walking distance, and the train station is 2.2 km away, about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. Residents mention good public transport connections, including the metro, which makes getting around Rotterdam straightforward.
Blijdorp has a mix of ages, but only about 18% of households have children, so it's not a family-dominated area. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the Vroesenpark offers green space. Residents describe it as quiet and safe, with a sense of community.
There are 139 apartments for sale in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €275,000 to €1,750,000. The average time to sell is 45 days, which suggests a reasonably active market. This particular apartment is larger and more expensive than most, so it may appeal to a specific buyer.
Albert Heijn is 220 m away, PLUS is 490 m, and there are several other supermarkets within a ten-minute walk. Restaurants are 0.4 km away, and the Vroesenpark is 0.2 km. For daily needs, everything is within easy reach.
