Bergpolder, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1936 apartment on Gordelweg sits in a neighbourhood that has seen real change in recent years. At €350,000 for 64 m², the price is in line with the market, comparable to the average of €5,120 per m² in the area. For context, the median asking price in Bergpolder is €375,000, so this home is priced slightly below that. If you're looking at apartments in Rotterdam, this is a solid entry point.
Bergpolder is a mixed bag, and residents are honest about it. One says: "Since I've been living here, I've come across friendly people." Another describes it as a "quiet neighbourhood with room for improvement," noting that "gentrification is underway" and that "you can literally meet anyone here, from yuppie to student to family to asylum seeker." A third review is less positive, calling it an "unfriendly neighbourhood" with damp housing. Based on five reviews, the average score is 6.54. The area is densely built (5,956 addresses per km²) and mostly pre-war, with 92% of homes built before 1945. It's a young area, over half the residents are between 25 and 45. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Bergpolder.
Daily errands are easy: a SPAR Express is just around the corner, and an Aldi and Albert Heijn are a couple of streets away. For school runs, IKC De Lis is a five-minute walk, and OBS de Blijberg is about the same distance. The neighbourhood has a few parks within walking distance, and the Hofbogenpark is expected to arrive soon, which residents think will give the area a boost. The municipality Rotterdam offers plenty of urban amenities, though the train station is a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via RE/MAX.

Since I've been living here, I've come across friendly people.
Auto-translated to English by AIBergpolder has improved significantly in recent years. Many apartments have been renovated, there is an influx of nice new residents, and the location is ideal. You do notice a clear difference in lifestyle between the old and new residents, but that is not disturbing in itself. Gentrification is underway, following the surrounding neighbourhoods, but is somewhat controlled by the large stock of (social) rental homes in the area. The result is that you can literally meet anyone here, from yuppie to student to family to asylum seeker. Everyone lives together harmoniously, but within their own bubble. Houses are old, very old, so they often need some love if they haven't been renovated yet. But the location is perfect, and there are many beautiful inner gardens that compensate for the bare streets. Everything you need is within walking distance. I think the arrival of the Hofbogenpark will give the neighbourhood a further boost. The greenery is still a bit sparse in some places in the area.

Auto-translated to English by AIFairly quiet living, though expensive, the Schieweg is often messy and there should be more benches in the neighbourhood. Here and there some green spots to enjoy nature. Supermarkets are a bit of a walk away, but there's a chip shop and a convenience store on every street corner. The Schieweg also has its own tram stop with frequent trams. Buses are scarce in the area.

About Gordelweg 136B, Rotterdam
At €350,000 for 64 m², the price per m² works out to about €5,469, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,120 per m². However, the median asking price in Bergpolder is €375,000, so this home is below that. Given the energy label C and the pre-war construction, the price seems reasonable for a well-located apartment in a neighbourhood that's improving.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. In Bergpolder, 42% of homes have label C, and 33% have D or lower. Label C means the home is reasonably efficient but not modern; heating costs will be moderate. The home was built in 1936, so it may need some attention to insulation, but the label suggests it's not a major concern.
Bergpolder is very convenient for daily needs. A SPAR Express is within a couple of minutes' walk, and Aldi and Albert Heijn are about five minutes away. There are several primary schools nearby, including IKC De Lis and OBS de Blijberg. The area is densely populated and young, with many residents in their 20s to 40s. Public transport is good, though the train station is about 2.2 km away.
Reviews are mixed but generally positive. One resident says: "Since I've been living here, I've come across friendly people." Another notes that the neighbourhood has improved significantly, with renovated apartments and a mix of residents, but that houses are old and often need work. A less positive review mentions damp housing and an unfriendly atmosphere. Overall, the average score from five reviews is 6.54.
The asking price of €350,000 is below the median for Bergpolder (€375,000) and close to the average sale price of €375,213. For Rotterdam as a whole, apartment prices vary widely, but this is a market-rate price for a 64 m² home in a central neighbourhood. The home sold quickly on average in the area, 44 days, suggesting demand is steady.
The apartment is 64 m² with energy label C and was built in 1936. The listing does not specify the number of rooms or layout, but typical pre-war apartments in the area have high ceilings and separate living and sleeping areas. The home likely needs some modernisation, as many pre-war homes in Bergpolder do, but the price reflects that.
