Centrum, Vlaardingen
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Achterom puts you right in the thick of things. With an A++ energy label, it's exceptionally efficient, only 11% of homes for sale in the neighbourhood reach that level. At €290,000, the asking price sits 17% below the local average of €351,382, which makes it a keen entry point into the market. For context, apartments in Vlaardingen typically command higher prices per square metre.
Centrum is the beating heart of Vlaardingen, with over 6,400 residents and a very high density of addresses (3,925 per km²). It's a mixed area: lots of singles (1,785 one-person households) and a fair share of families with children (885). The one review from a resident sums it up: "It's good but could be better!", they mention suffering from waste and drug users, but as a "reasonably large-built man" they don't feel unsafe. Many neighbours do, though, and the reviewer misses the trees and nature that used to be there. For a fuller picture of the municipality Vlaardingen, you can explore the wider area.
Your morning bread run is a 73-metre stroll to Dirk, literally on your doorstep. Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Lidl is a five-minute walk away. For school runs, IKC 't Palet is a couple of streets away, and IKC Van Kampen and IKC De Bavinck are both within a ten-minute walk. The nearest train station is 6.1 km away, so you'll rely on buses or a bike for longer journeys.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Van Zon Makelaars. The listing does not state the year of construction, so the rest of this page is based on the street and neighbourhood data.

Suffering from the waste and drug users in the area. I am a reasonably large-built man so I certainly don't feel unsafe, but many neighbours certainly do, and I miss the trees and nature that used to be there.
