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 Stadhoudersplein 123, Rotterdam
The asking price of €359,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €390,956 and the median of €375,000. However, given the small floor area (63 m²) and poor energy label (F), the price per m² works out to about €5,698, which is above the neighbourhood average of €5,120. So it's on the high side for what you get.
The energy label is F, which is very poor. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. In Bergpolder, 33.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but you should expect significant energy bills.
Bergpolder is a diverse, densely populated neighbourhood with a mix of old and new residents. Reviews are mixed: some praise the friendly atmosphere and recent improvements, while others mention damp housing and a lack of community. It's very urban, with many singles and young people. The area has good amenities within walking distance.
PLUS is just 13 metres away, literally on your doorstep. Albert Heijn is 370 metres away, and Aldi and Dirk are within 600 metres. So daily groceries are very convenient.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride.
This is an apartment built in 1957. The building is therefore over 65 years old, and like many homes in Bergpolder (92.4% built before 1945), it may need renovation. The energy label F reflects its age.
