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 Talmastraat 73A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €412,500 is slightly above the average sale price in Bergpolder (€393,873) and above the median (€375,000). However, the average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €5,019, and this apartment works out at about €5,650 per m², which is on the high side. The home has an energy label C, which is typical for the area (40.8% of homes have label C).

The nearest supermarket is a PLUS at 469 metres, just around the corner. A SPAR express is at 556 metres, and an Albert Heijn at 613 metres. All are within a ten-minute walk.

The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1944). A C label means the home is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy bills, but it's not the most efficient label available.
