Purchase prices in Blokweer: what do you pay and how does that compare to Alblasserdam?
Blokweer is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 64% of the more than 3,000 homes are owned, compared to 36% rented. The average WOZ value is €298,000, which is noticeably lower than the municipal average of €324,000 for Alblasserdam. Yet actual transactions paint a different picture. In the past twelve months, 59 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €473,381, with a range of €295,000 to €1,050,000 and an average living area of 124 m². That difference between WOZ and sale price indicates that the market here is active and that buyers are willing to pay well above the WOZ value. The supply mainly consists of ground-floor family homes; detached homes and semi-detached houses are found on the more spacious side of the neighbourhood.

Living in Blokweer: family neighbourhood with a strong sense of community
Blokweer is not a neighbourhood that stands out for spectacle, but for solidity. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, followed by families with children, and that is exactly what you see in the streets: quiet residential areas, playgrounds, and neighbours who know each other. Residents give the neighbourhood an 8.5 out of 10 via Buurtje.nl. Nathan describes it as "a good, nice neighbourhood", and H. Berkelouw simply emphasises the "nice people". That sense of community scores the highest of all sub-scores, with a 9.0. Green space also gets a 9.0, which you notice in the space between homes and the presence of parks and green strips spread throughout the neighbourhood. On the neighbourhood page of Blokweer you will find all resident experiences and neighbourhood data together.
In terms of amenities, Blokweer is reasonably self-sufficient. There are several primary schools in and around the neighbourhood, and for daily groceries you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Shopping centre De Kinderboom offers a supermarket and a number of shops for daily needs. For a larger range of shops, the centre of Alblasserdam is within cycling distance. For sports, there are football and tennis clubs active in the municipality. The neighbourhood has sub-areas each with their own character: for example, Blokweer Noord has a slightly quieter, greener profile, while Blokweer Zuid is somewhat more compactly built. The adjacent Florabuurt and Drentsebuurt are also worth exploring if you are looking in this corner of Alblasserdam.
Accessibility scores an 8.0 from residents, and that is realistic. Alblasserdam does not have its own train station, but bus connections take you to Dordrecht and Rotterdam. By car, you are quickly on the motorway via the N915 and the junction with the A15 and A16. Rotterdam is about 25 minutes away by car, Dordrecht 15 minutes. For commuters dependent on public transport, that requires some planning, but by car the location is excellent. The municipality also has a ferry connection towards the Alblasserwaard, which makes the area feel even more spacious. More about the municipality can be found on the official website of Alblasserdam.
For whom is a home in Blokweer a good choice?
