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 184B, Rotterdam
The asking price is 25% below the neighbourhood average of €390,956, and the average price per m² in Bergpolder is €5,120. Given that this home is 61 m², the price per m² works out to about €4,836, which is below the neighbourhood average. So it's priced keenly compared to other homes in the area.
The energy label is C. For a home built in 1933, that's a decent rating, it means the property has some insulation and double glazing in places, but you can expect higher heating costs than a modern A-label home. About 42% of homes in Bergpolder have label C, so it's in line with the neighbourhood.
Bergpolder is very popular with young adults: over half the residents are between 25 and 45. The area is densely built up with flats, and there's a lively mix of people. One resident says 'you can literally meet anyone here, from yuppie to student to family to asylum seeker.' The location is central, with shops and public transport within walking distance.
PLUS is 337 metres away, just around the corner. SPAR express and Albert Heijn are both about 540 metres, a five-minute walk. There's also an Aldi at 548 metres. So daily groceries are very convenient.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away. That's about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride.
In the most recent data, there were 556 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. That's a relatively high number, but it's a densely populated urban area. The neighbourhood review score of 6.54 suggests mixed feelings about safety.
The asking price is below the neighbourhood average, and the area is seeing gentrification, one resident notes 'gentrification is underway.' With a third of homes owner-occupied and many rentals, there is potential for price growth. However, the home is old (1933) and may need maintenance, as some reviews mention damp and heat issues.
