Centrum, Vlaardingen
NeighbourhoodThis 1930s apartment on Baljuwstraat sits right in the thick of things, the centre of Vlaardingen is on your doorstep, with shops, cafés and the market square just a couple of streets away. At 46 m² it's a snug space, but the price is keen: €205,000 is 42% below the average asking price for apartments in Vlaardingen, though the floor area is 54% smaller than the neighbourhood average.
Centrum is the bustling heart of Vlaardingen, with over 6,400 residents packed into a very strongly urban area (3,925 addresses per km²). It's a mix of singles (about half of households) and families with children (around a quarter). One resident sums it up: "It's good but could be better!", they mention suffering from waste and drug users in the area, and while they personally don't feel unsafe, many neighbours do. They also miss the trees and nature that used to be there. This is based on a single review. The municipality Vlaardingen is working on the area, but it's worth knowing the reality.
For your morning bread run, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Dirk is a five-minute walk away. There are three primary schools within a few streets: IKC Erasmus, IKC De Bavinck and IKC Van Kampen. A GP is also on your doorstep. The train station is 6.1 km away, so you'll rely on a bike or bus for longer journeys.
At the time of writing the home is listed via several channels, including De Witte Garantiemakelaars Vlaardingen, Funda and Pararius.

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.

About Baljuwstraat 16, Vlaardingen
The asking price of €205,000 is 42% below the average asking price in Centrum (€351,382) and also below the median of €317,500. However, the flat is compact at 46 m², which is 54% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 100 m². Given the size and the energy label F, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a small apartment in this area.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means heating and electricity costs will be relatively high. In the neighbourhood, 37% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older building (1930). You should budget for higher monthly energy bills compared to a more efficient home.
Centrum is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. It's lively, with shops and restaurants nearby, but one resident reports issues with waste and drug users. The resident, a large-built man, doesn't feel unsafe but notes that many neighbours do. The area has a mix of singles and families, and the average household size is 1.8.
Albert Heijn is 125 m away, Dirk at 368 m, and Lidl at 683 m. For primary education, IKC Erasmus (236 m), IKC De Bavinck (303 m) and IKC Van Kampen (325 m) are all within walking distance. A GP is also just 0.3 km away.
The nearest train station is 6.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, bus or car to reach it.
In the most recent data, there were 467 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. This is a relatively high number for a residential area, which aligns with the resident's comment about drug users and waste. It's something to consider when viewing the property.
