Bergpolder, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Insulindestraat in Rotterdam's Bergpolder sits on a 317 m² plot, a rare find in this part of the city. The home itself is compact at 41 m², so the real draw is the outdoor space. This listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €475,000, the price is 17% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €404,310, which is on the high side, partly explained by the large plot. For context, terraced houses in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size.
Bergpolder is a mixed area where old and new residents live side by side. One resident 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 "everything you need is within walking distance." A third review is less positive, calling it an "unfriendly neighbourhood" with damp houses. Based on five reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.54 out of 10. The area is densely built (address density 5,956 per km²) and mostly consists of flats, with many single-person households. The Bergpolder neighbourhood is home to around 8,245 people.
For your morning bread, SPAR express is just around the corner, and Aldi and Albert Heijn are a five-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including IKC De Lis and Imelda. A GP is a couple of streets away, and a park or public garden is on your doorstep. The neighbourhood is part of the municipality of Rotterdam, which offers extensive amenities and public transport connections.

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.
