Homes for sale in Bloemenbuurt, Venlo

House prices and market figures Bloemenbuurt, Venlo

Living in Bloemenbuurt, Venlo

Bloemenbuurt is one of the quieter residential neighbourhoods on the eastern side of Venlo. The name is no coincidence: the streets bear names like Rozenstraat, Tulpenstraat and Dahliaplein, and the neighbourhood has a green, well-maintained character that suits the residents who have lived there for a long time. The largest group of inhabitants is between 45 and 65 years old, followed by a sizeable group of over-65s. This is also reflected in the atmosphere: it is quiet here, the gardens are well-kept, and there is little nuisance from traffic or hospitality venues.

The homes largely date from the 1950s and 1960s, with a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached homes. The larger plots and higher ceilings make these homes popular with movers seeking more living comfort without leaving the city. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Bloemenbuurt will notice that this type of home is scarce here; the supply mainly consists of ground-based homes.

For daily groceries, you can go to the supermarkets on Hagerhofweg or in the nearby shopping area towards the centre of Venlo. Primary schools such as those in the Oost-Zuid area are within cycling distance. Green spaces are available in the form of smaller parks scattered throughout the neighbourhood itself, and Julianapark can be reached by a short bike ride. Sports clubs and outdoor sports facilities are present in the wider Venlo-Oost area.

In terms of accessibility, Bloemenbuurt is conveniently located relative to the A73, which connects Venlo with Nijmegen and Roermond. The centre of Venlo, including the train station with connections to Eindhoven and Germany among others, is about ten minutes by bike or five minutes by car. Bus services run via the main roads on the edge of the neighbourhood. For motorists, the location is pleasant: you are quickly out of the city without living in a remote suburb.

Residents appreciate the peace and space. On the neighbourhood main page of Bloemenbuurt you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "It is pleasantly quiet here, the neighbours know each other and the streets are green. Not exciting, but nice to live in." Criticisms that come up are the limited shopping facilities directly in the neighbourhood and the relatively quiet evenings, which for some is actually a plus.

Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods in the same district, Bloemenbuurt has a somewhat higher WOZ value and a quieter profile than, for example, the Jezuïtenbuurt or the more urban-oriented Dokter Poelsplein en omgeving.
