Bospolder, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis two-storey apartment on Watergeusstraat sits in the heart of Bospolder, a lively part of Delfshaven. At 46 m² it's compact, but the 1910 building has character. The asking price of €275,000 is 38% below the neighbourhood average of €440,241, which is keen given the smaller floor area, 49% smaller than the typical 91 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size.

The neighbourhood Bospolder is very strongly urban, with over 5,600 addresses per km².
For daily shopping, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Dirk, Aldi and Albert Heijn are a five- to ten-minute walk away.

We have a very nice street, neighbours look out for each other and help each other when needed. I should add that we are all the first residents, so we know each other. It's just a shame that there is no greenery and there are still houses in the area that are in dire need of a major overhaul. As for greenery, it's poverty stricken in the neighbourhood, and there is little for children. There are a few trees on the street, that's it.

About Watergeusstraat 4B01, Rotterdam
The asking price is 38% below the neighbourhood average of €440,241, but the flat is also 49% smaller than the typical home in Bospolder. Given the compact size and older building (1910), the price is in line with what you'd expect for a 46 m² apartment in this area.
The energy label is D. That means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. About a third of homes in the neighbourhood have a label D or lower, so it's not unusual for the area.
The nearest train station is 3.2 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bus, bike or car to reach it.
Bospolder has many families, about 37% of households have children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Valentijnschool (203 m) and KC De Vlinder (300 m). However, one resident notes that there is little greenery and few facilities for children.
There are 29 apartments for sale in Bospolder, with prices ranging from €160,000 to €695,000. The median price is €400,000, so this flat is on the lower end of the market.
In the most recent data, there were 681 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. That's a relatively high number, but it's typical for a very urban area like this.
