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 Van der Meydestraat 16-03, Rotterdam
The asking price of €365,000 is 22% below the average asking price in Blijdorp (€467,000), but the apartment is also smaller than average (67 m² vs 93 m²). The price per m² works out at about €5,448, which is close to the neighbourhood average of €5,245 per m². So it's priced in line with the market for its size.
The energy label is E. That means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Blijdorp, 44% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away. That's about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride. The metro is closer, as residents mention in their reviews.

The floor area is 67 m², which typically accommodates one or two bedrooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
