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 Groen van Prinstererstraat 19A, Rotterdam
The asking price is 17% below the average asking price in Bergpolder (€390,956) and also below the median of €375,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (49 m² vs 83 m²). The price per m² works out to about €6,633, which is above the neighbourhood average of €5,120 per m². So while the total price is low, you are paying a premium for the compact size.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. In Bergpolder, 42.3% of homes have label C, and 33.3% have a lower label. Label C means the home is reasonably insulated but not highly efficient, so heating costs will be moderate. You can expect to spend more on energy than in a modern home, but less than in a label D or E property.
Bergpolder is very urban and dense, with a high address density. Residents say everything you need is within walking distance. There are supermarkets like PLUS and Albert Heijn nearby, and several primary schools within a few minutes' walk. The area has a park or garden close by, and restaurants are just around the corner. The train station is about 2.2 km away, so a bit further for commuting.
The neighbourhood has a young population: over half of residents are between 25 and 45 years old. Many live alone (3,435 single-person households out of 5,350 total). There are relatively few families with children (650). The mix is diverse, with students, young professionals, and some families. One resident noted that "everyone lives together harmoniously, but within their own bubble."
The apartment was built in 1933, so it is a pre-war property. In Bergpolder, 92.4% of homes were built before 1945. Older homes often have character but may need maintenance. One resident mentioned that houses are "very old, so they often need some love if they haven't been renovated yet." The energy label C suggests some upgrades have been done, but you should expect typical quirks of an older building.
The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 556, but without context per capita or type, it's hard to judge. The area is very urban and dense, which can correlate with higher crime rates. However, residents' reviews are mixed: one says it's "quiet" and another mentions "unfriendly" but not specifically unsafe. It's best to visit at different times to get a feel.
