A pre-war apartment with character in Blijdorp
This 1933 apartment on Van Nideckstraat has a classic feel with high ceilings and original details. At 104 m², it's a generous size for a city home. The last known price of €535,000 was on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €479,776, but the larger floor area partly explained that. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size. This home has not been online since 25 August 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Van Nideckstraat 32A01, Rotterdam
Was €535,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €535,000 was above the neighbourhood average of €479,776 and the median of €450,000. However, this apartment is larger than average (104 m² vs 97 m²), which partly justifies the premium. The price per m² was about €5,144, close to the neighbourhood average of €5,142. So it was priced in line with the market for its size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D, which is average for a pre-war home. In Blijdorp, 42.4% of homes have label C and 39.6% have D or lower. Label D meant heating costs would be moderate but not as low as a modern home. You can expect reasonable energy bills, but improvements like insulation could help.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. The metro is closer, with a station nearby that connects to the city centre and other parts of Rotterdam.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
Blijdorp has a mix of residents, with many singles and couples. About 10% of households have children, so it's not a typical family neighbourhood, but there are good schools nearby. The Vroesenpark offers green space for children to play.
How safe is Blijdorp?
The neighbourhood has 739 reported crimes, which is moderate for a city area. Residents describe it as quiet and friendly, with people greeting each other on the street.
What are the nearby supermarkets?
Albert Heijn is just 112 metres away, so you can pop out for groceries in a minute. PLUS is 357 metres away, and there are two more supermarkets within a ten-minute walk. You'll have plenty of choice for daily shopping.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing did not mention a garden or terrace. As an apartment, it likely has no private outdoor space, but the Vroesenpark is just 200 metres away for fresh air and recreation.
