The Bloemenbuurt is a sought-after, quiet residential district in Segbroek, with streets named after flowers and the Bosjes van Poot on its edge. Characterful 1920s–30s homes, many owner-occupied, and the shops of the Thomsonlaan and Fahrenheitstraat within walking distance make it a popular family district.
The character of the Bloemenbuurt
The Bloemenbuurt is the slightly quieter, greener neighbour of the lively Bomenbuurt. Streets named after flowers, characterful 1920s–30s homes and the Bosjes van Poot on its western edge give the district a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. It is a typical family district: child-friendly, well-ordered and with everything you need day to day within walking or cycling distance.
At the same time the Bloemenbuurt benefits from the liveliness of Segbroek: the shops of the Thomsonlaan and Fahrenheitstraat are around the corner, and the dunes and the beach are quickly reached.
Location and surroundings
The Bloemenbuurt lies in the Segbroek borough and borders the Bomenbuurt, the Vruchtenbuurt and — towards the dunes — the Vogelwijk and the Bosjes van Poot. That location on the green western side of the city makes the quarter quiet and spacious, while the centre remains well reachable by tram and bike.
As with the Bomenbuurt: CBS and the police count both quarters together as one district, so the figures in this guide apply to the whole.
A brief history
The Bloemenbuurt mainly took shape in the 1920s and ’30s, in the same wave of urban expansion towards the west that also produced the Bomenbuurt and the Vogelwijk. The spacious layout and the flower names betray the ideals of that time: light, air and greenery for the growing middle class.
Living and architecture
The housing supply consists of characterful 1920s–30s homes: family houses, upper and lower maisonettes and walk-up flats, often with a garden and authentic details. The share of owner-occupied homes is relatively high, which fits the district’s family profile.
With an average household size above that of the truly urban districts, the Bloemenbuurt is clearly a district of families and movers who settle here for the longer term.
The property market in the Bloemenbuurt
The Bloemenbuurt is a sought-after, stable market. Spacious, well-kept family homes with a garden are scarce and therefore in demand. The calm, the greenery and the proximity of amenities keep demand high.
The market figures in this guide are indicative. A specific home’s value depends on location, floor area and condition. Curious what your home in the Bloemenbuurt is worth? Request a no-obligation valuation.
Who is the Bloemenbuurt right for?
The Bloemenbuurt is ideal for families and movers seeking peace, greenery and space without being far from the city. Lovers of characterful 1930s homes with a garden are well served here, with shops within walking distance and the dunes within cycling distance. Anyone after buzzing city life is better off in a more central district.
