The asking price of €299,500 is 26% below the average asking price in Bergpolder (€404,310) and also below the median (€387,250). Given the floor area of 66 m², the price per m² works out to about €4,538, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €5,019 per m². This makes the price keen compared to other homes currently for sale in the area.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
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 AIUnfriendly neighbourhood..everyone on their own island..houses damp and poor in winter..bloody hot in summer.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood, often many outings and organisations that are made here for children as well as for adults, good causes are achieved and good environment
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.

Quiet neighbourhood with older and younger residents. Public transport (metro) and Vroesenpark nearby. Here residents still greet each other and have a chat and help each other when needed.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy neighbourhood with lots of greenery. Vroesenpark and Diergaarde Blijdorp nearby. Nice people. People still greet each other on the street here. Good public transport (metro). Supermarkets and all kinds of other shops nearby. Nice restaurants and bars.

Auto-translated to English by AISo far I think it's a fine neighbourhood, I can walk safely. The only thing is that the supermarkets are far, that's about it. There are many people on the street and everyone says hi.

Auto-translated to English by AIMany individuals, little sense of community
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood isn't perfect, because there are a lot of loitering youths at the swing set in front of my house, and they set off fireworks or make a lot of noise. The nice thing about this neighbourhood is that there are supermarkets within walking distance, so you can easily grab something quickly. It's not the safest neighbourhood you'll find, because a few months ago a scooter caught fire and someone was beaten up for no reason. In the Vijverhofstraat there is a school with only those kinds of children who ruin the neighbourhood for others, so a better school would help a lot.

How residents experience their municipality
Het is net een klein dorpje, je kunt overal fijn heen fietsen of lopen. Er is ook openbaar vervoer wat het nog makkelijker maakt om ergens heen te gaan. Niet al te ver van het centrum af.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for a few years. There's litter on the ground. But the supermarkets are good in the neighbourhood and there's a community centre. Nice!
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood. The airport is nearby, but you don't hear a thing. Zestienhovenpark is great for walking or jogging. Many families with children live here. There is a lot of greenery and you see many birds. The best neighbourhood

Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I was born here so I grew up with the neighbourhood as it is now.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe facilities and the apartment itself are nice. But around the building there is a lot of rubbish on the street and junkies.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is and remains a village
