The Oude Noorden is a dense, urban area with a mix of nationalities and a strong sense of community. Based on seven reviews, residents appreciate the social cohesion: "We know each other in this neighbourhood," one says, noting the mix of cultures and proximity to the Rotte. Another calls it "cosy and hip," adding that people help each other and still greet one another. However, some mention street hygiene and ongoing construction as downsides. The area is very urban, with 17,365 residents and a high address density. Most homes are pre-war, and the housing stock is predominantly rental. For more context, see the Oude Noorden neighbourhood.
Daily errands are easy: an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Dirk and Lidl are a couple of streets away. For families, several primary schools are within walking distance, including Quadratum and Juliana van Stolbergschool, both a few minutes' walk. The area is lively, with restaurants and cafes nearby. The municipality of Rotterdam provides all urban amenities, from parks to libraries, within easy reach. See the municipality of Rotterdam for more on the city.

This neighbourhood is a mix of all nationalities and very popular, and not to mention we live close to the Rotte
Auto-translated to English by AIWe've been living in this neighbourhood for 4 years now and it's fine, and people are there for each other with help when needed, people still greet each other here and everyone knows each other, only the hygiene could be better
Auto-translated to English by AIThe house is fine but people throw all sorts of things on the street, especially food, and I've been living in a construction pit for over 2 years.
Auto-translated to English by AII find the neighbourhood rather one-sided in terms of residents
Auto-translated to English by AIIn this neighbourhood you'll find cosy pubs, sports clubs, schools, an abundance of shops, a choice of almost every supermarket (except Jumbo). In the last few years, more and more students have come to live in and around the Zwart Janstraat (shopping street). That creates a lively atmosphere and occasionally some noise from parties, but I certainly don't mind it. It's a mix of various ethnicities, everyone is helpful and greets each other. A few years ago, the neighbourhood was really a mess, it seems to have improved a bit now, but you can't call it clean. The Zwart Janstraat was a Formula 1 circuit, but the municipality put a stop to that with extremely high thresholds and confusing one-way streets. Occasionally, some cars still race through the side streets with an enormous racket. I wouldn't let children play outside alone quickly, especially after dusk. There are sometimes unpredictable (sometimes addicted) individuals roaming around, especially past the Noordsingel around those small sports fields. My bike was stolen last year when I wasn't looking. Likewise, some other, more valuable belongings of residents. So watch your belongings. Crooswijk borders the Oude Noorden; this neighbourhood is often in the news in mid-2023 with bomb threats. I haven't seen or heard this kind of crime here, so I can't confirm that. All in all, a vibrant neighbourhood where you won't get bored with everything you need nearby. But with a slight ghetto feel (3 out of 10), that's how I would describe it to give you an idea ;).
Auto-translated to English by AIVery noisy on the street at night, but there are also many parties in the houses. There should be more police patrols.

About Bergweg 158A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €400,000 is 18% below the average asking price in the Oude Noorden, which is €489,875. The median price in the neighbourhood is €446,250, so this apartment is priced on the low side. However, the energy label F means higher energy costs, and the home is 126 years old, which may require maintenance. Compared to similar apartments sold recently (average €440,037), the price is competitive.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In the Oude Noorden, only about 24% of homes have a label D or lower, so this apartment is less efficient than most. Expect higher heating bills and potential draughts. The home was built in 1898, so insulation is likely minimal. You may want to budget for energy improvements, though the exact costs depend on usage and future upgrades.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride. The high address density (7,495 addresses per km²) means frequent public transport options are typical in this part of Rotterdam.
The Oude Noorden has a mix of households: about 28% are families with children, and 58% are single-person households. There are several primary schools within walking distance, such as Quadratum (194 m) and Juliana van Stolbergschool (222 m). Residents describe the area as social and diverse, with people knowing each other. However, some reviews mention street cleanliness and construction noise.
In the Oude Noorden, sold homes took an average of 54 days to sell. This is relatively quick, indicating a active market. The current apartment is priced below average, which may attract interest. However, the energy label and age could deter some buyers, so it might stay on the market a bit longer than the average.
Exact costs are not stated, but you can expect property tax, homeowners' association fees (if applicable), and energy bills. With energy label F, heating and electricity costs will be higher than in a modern home. The exact amount depends on usage and energy prices. No service charges are mentioned in the listing.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not provided, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space. The neighbourhood has a park or public garden 0.8 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk.
The floor area is 76 m², which typically accommodates two to three rooms, but this is not confirmed. You would need to check the layout with the agent.
