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 "you can literally meet anyone here, from yuppie to student to family to asylum seeker." A third review is less positive, calling it a "Worthless damp house in winter..and bloody sweltering hot in summer..and the neighbourhood is also Dutch unfriendly." Based on five reviews, the average score is 6.54. The area is densely built (over 5,900 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of apartments, with a third owner-occupied. Many residents live alone (3,435 one-person households), and the largest age group is 25-45. For more details, see the neighbourhood Bergpolder.

The area is very urban, with restaurants and a park within a couple of streets away. The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, so you'd cycle or take a bus.

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 Schieweg 120C, Rotterdam
The asking price is 51% above the average asking price in Bergpolder (€390,956), but this apartment is also 61% larger than the average (83 m²). At €4,400 per m², it's actually below the neighbourhood average of €5,120 per m². So while the total price is high, you're getting more space for your money compared to other homes in the area.
The energy label is B, which is quite good for a pre-war apartment from 1933. It means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, so you won't face extremely high heating costs. In Bergpolder, only about 15% of homes have label A or better, so this is above average for the neighbourhood.
Bergpolder is very urban and dense, with everything you need within walking distance. There are several supermarkets nearby (PLUS, Albert Heijn, Aldi), and schools are close by. The area has a mix of residents, from students to families, and is undergoing gentrification. Some streets are bare, but there are many inner gardens. The Hofbogenpark is expected to add more green space.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, so it's a bit of a walk or a short cycle. However, the area is well-served by trams and buses given its urban density.
The building dates from 1933, so it's a pre-war apartment. Reviews mention that houses in the area are old and often need renovation if not already updated. This particular home has energy label B, suggesting some modernisation has been done. The exact condition of the interior is not described in the listing.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space. Many apartments in the area have access to inner gardens, but that is not confirmed for this specific home.
