Bergpolder: a neighbourhood in transition
Bergpolder is a neighbourhood where old and new meet. One resident describes it as "Quiet neighbourhood with room for improvement," noting that "Bergpolder has improved significantly in recent years. Many apartments have been renovated, there is an influx of nice new residents, and the location is ideal." Another resident gives a more mixed view: "Unfriendly neighbourhood..everyone on their own island..houses damp and poor in winter..bloody hot in summer." Based on five reviews, the average score is 6.54. The area is densely populated (5,956 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of flats, no single-family homes. A third of homes are owner-occupied, and the population is young, with many 25-45 year olds. The neighbourhood Bergpolder is clearly gentrifying, but retains a mix of social housing and private ownership.
