A 1950s apartment on the Schieweg
This apartment sits on the Schieweg in Bergpolder, a lively part of Rotterdam Noord where the streets are busy and the energy is unmistakable. Built in 1950, it is a classic post-war home in a neighbourhood that has seen plenty of change over the decades. With an asking price of €400,000, the home is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €401,858, though the average home here is smaller. The price per square metre comes to €3,604, based on the agent's floor area. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price, and this one sits in the middle of the range for the city.
Inside the home
The agent describes this as a four-room apartment, though the listing does not specify how many bedrooms or bathrooms it has. The living area is given as 111 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 107 m², a small difference between the two sources. The energy label is E, which means the home is not particularly efficient, so heating costs are likely to be noticeable. The apartment dates from 1950, a fact that speaks for itself without needing further comment.
Life in Bergpolder
Bergpolder is a neighbourhood in transition, according to the residents who shared their views. 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 many apartments have been renovated and there is an influx of new residents. The same resident mentions that houses are old and often need some love if they haven't been renovated yet, but the location is perfect and everything you need is within walking distance. A third resident is less positive, calling the neighbourhood unfriendly and the houses damp in winter and hot in summer. Based on five reviews, the average score is 6.54 out of 10. The neighbourhood has 8,245 residents, and a large share of households are single-person, at 64 percent. For more on the area, see the Bergpolder neighbourhood.
