The asking price of €349,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €404,310 and the median of €387,250 for apartments in Bergpolder. Given the 105 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €3,324, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €5,019 per m². So it's priced keenly relative to the local market.
The energy label is D. This is a common rating for pre-war apartments in Bergpolder, where 42.3% of homes have label D or lower. A D label means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be moderate to high. You may want to consider improvements like double glazing or insulation.
Bergpolder has a mix of residents, but only 650 households have children out of 5,415 total households. The average household size is 1.5, indicating many singles and couples. There are several primary schools within walking distance, but the area is more popular with young professionals and students.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. The high address density (5956 per km²) means frequent services.
The neighbourhood recorded 556 total crimes in the latest data. This is a moderate figure for a dense urban area. Residents note that the area has improved in recent years, with gentrification bringing new residents. As with any city neighbourhood, it's worth checking local crime maps for specifics.
The apartment was built in 1933, so it's a pre-war property. Many apartments in Bergpolder have been renovated, but some still need work. One resident mentioned that houses are "old, very old, so they often need some love if they haven't been renovated yet." The listing does not specify the condition, so a viewing is recommended.
The nearest park or public garden is 0.3 km away, just a couple of streets away. Residents mention beautiful inner gardens that compensate for the bare streets. The Hofbogenpark is also planned, which should add more greenery to the area.
In Bergpolder, sold homes took an average of 45 days to sell. This is a reasonable timeframe, indicating a balanced market. The current apartment has been listed at a market-rate price, so it may attract interest quickly.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
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 AIUnfriendly neighbourhood..everyone on their own island..houses damp and poor in winter..bloody hot in summer.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood, often many outings and organisations that are made here for children as well as for adults, good causes are achieved and good environment
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.

Quiet neighbourhood with older and younger residents. Public transport (metro) and Vroesenpark nearby. Here residents still greet each other and have a chat and help each other when needed.

Auto-translated to English by AISo far I think it's a fine neighbourhood, I can walk safely. The only thing is that the supermarkets are far, that's about it. There are many people on the street and everyone says hi.

Auto-translated to English by AIMany individuals, little sense of community
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood isn't perfect, because there are a lot of loitering youths at the swing set in front of my house, and they set off fireworks or make a lot of noise. The nice thing about this neighbourhood is that there are supermarkets within walking distance, so you can easily grab something quickly. It's not the safest neighbourhood you'll find, because a few months ago a scooter caught fire and someone was beaten up for no reason. In the Vijverhofstraat there is a school with only those kinds of children who ruin the neighbourhood for others, so a better school would help a lot.

How residents experience their municipality
Het is net een klein dorpje, je kunt overal fijn heen fietsen of lopen. Er is ook openbaar vervoer wat het nog makkelijker maakt om ergens heen te gaan. Niet al te ver van het centrum af.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for a few years. There's litter on the ground. But the supermarkets are good in the neighbourhood and there's a community centre. Nice!
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood. The airport is nearby, but you don't hear a thing. Zestienhovenpark is great for walking or jogging. Many families with children live here. There is a lot of greenery and you see many birds. The best neighbourhood

Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I was born here so I grew up with the neighbourhood as it is now.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe facilities and the apartment itself are nice. But around the building there is a lot of rubbish on the street and junkies.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is and remains a village
