Bergpolder, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 51 m² apartment on Tak van Poortvlietstraat sits in Bergpolder, a neighbourhood that's very much in transition. The home dates from 1933 and has energy label D, so expect some character and a need for modernisation. At €350,000, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €375,000 for a typical 83 m² home, but then this one is 39% smaller. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size.
Bergpolder is a neighbourhood where you'll find everyone from students to families to yuppies, all living in their own bubbles. 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 but tempered by a large stock of social housing. The homes are old, 92% were built before 1945, so many need some love. The neighbourhood Bergpolder has a high density of 5,956 addresses per km², making it very urban. Based on five reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.54 out of 10.
For your morning bread, SPAR express is just around the corner, and Aldi and Albert Heijn are a five-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: IKC De Lis is a couple of streets away, and Imelda is similarly close. The municipality Rotterdam offers plenty of restaurants and a park within a few minutes' walk, so you won't be short of places to unwind.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Maarten Makelaardij. The listing is available on multiple platforms.

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 Tak van Poortvlietstraat 9B01, Rotterdam
The asking price of €350,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood median of €375,000, but this apartment is also smaller than average (51 m² vs 83 m²). The price per m² works out to about €6,863, which is above the neighbourhood average of €5,120 per m². So you're paying a premium for the smaller size, but the absolute price is lower than many other homes in Bergpolder.
The energy label is D, which is fairly common for a 1933 apartment. In Bergpolder, 33% of homes have label D or lower, so this is typical for the area. A D label means moderate energy efficiency, you can expect reasonable heating costs, but not as low as a modern A-label home. The home may benefit from insulation improvements.

The neighbourhood has a mix of residents, from students to families, and is well served by public transport, though the train station is 2.2 km away.
The apartment has a floor area of 51 m², which is compact. It was built in 1933, so it likely has high ceilings and original features, but may need some modernisation.
