Bergenbuurt has about 1,650 residents, mostly singles and couples, only a quarter of households have children. It's a fairly urban area with plenty of shops and services nearby. One resident sums it up: "Good neighbourhood to live in." They note that facilities are better than the data suggests, with a vet and a church within walking distance, and a dog-walking area close by. On the downside, bulky waste is sometimes dumped next to bins, which doesn't look great. The neighbourhood Bergenbuurt has a mix of ages, with a fair number of over-65s and a younger crowd too.
For your morning bread, Dirk is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Lidl are a couple of streets away, all within a five-minute walk. Pieter Bas primary school is also just around the corner, and Kindcentrum Ontdekrijk is a five-minute walk.

There are more facilities than indicated here. There is a vet in the neighbourhood itself and a church within walking distance. There is a dog walking area nearby. As for hygiene, there is always rubbish next to the bins, especially bulky waste. People just dump it without reporting it. There is little or no control over this. It doesn't look good for the neighbourhood. What I find strange is that there is also an anti-squat house in the area.

About Zijpenberg 168, Capelle Aan Den Ijssel
The asking price is €375,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of €356,875 and the median of €352,500. However, it's within the range of €325,000 to €425,000 for similar apartments in Bergenbuurt. Given the 83 m² floor area and energy label C, the price per m² works out to about €4,518, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,122 per m². So it's on the high side, but not out of line for a well-sized flat.
Bergenbuurt is a fairly urban area with a mix of ages, many singles and couples, but also some families. One resident describes it as a 'good neighbourhood to live in', with more facilities than the data shows, including a vet and a church within walking distance. The main downside is that bulky waste is sometimes dumped next to bins, which affects the look of the streets. Overall, it's a practical, lived-in neighbourhood.
The nearest train station is 3.2 km away, so it's not within walking distance but is a short bike ride or bus trip.
You have three supermarkets within a five-minute walk: Dirk, Albert Heijn, and Lidl. That's very convenient for daily groceries. There's also a restaurant and a park just around the corner, so you can grab a bite or take a walk without going far.
With 83 m² and two bedrooms (typical for this size), it could work for a small family, but the neighbourhood has mostly singles and couples, only about 22% of households have children. There are good primary schools nearby, like Pieter Bas just around the corner, so it's not unsuitable, but it's not a family-dominated area.
The energy label is C, which is average for a flat of this age (built in 1977). It means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, though exact amounts depend on usage. In the neighbourhood, half of homes have label B and half have label C, so this is typical.
