Bart Verhallenplein 45

At 78 m² and with energy label C, the asking price of €250,000 is in line with the market for similar apartments in Schiedam. The home is from 1966, so you can expect some maintenance typical of that era. The price reflects the size and location in a very urban neighbourhood.

Van Zantenbuurt is a densely populated, very urban neighbourhood with around 2,500 residents. It has a mix of families and singles, and about a third of households have children. The area scores high on address density, meaning shops, schools and other facilities are close by. There are no resident reviews available, but the data shows a lively, active community.

The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, so you would need a bus, bike or car to reach it. The neighbourhood is well served by local amenities, but for longer journeys by rail you will need to plan ahead.

Dirk and Aldi are both within 400 metres, so just a couple of streets away. Lidl and Albert Heijn are within a five-minute walk. That gives you several options for daily shopping without needing a car.

Yes, there are two primary schools on your doorstep: El Furkan Basisschool and Basisschool Loep. For secondary education, Stedelijk Gymnasium Schiedam is a five-minute walk, and De Internationale Vos and De Mavo Vos are within ten minutes' walk.

Energy label C means the home is reasonably efficient but not top of the range. You can expect moderate energy costs, though older homes from 1966 may need some upgrades to improve efficiency further. The label is a good starting point for budgeting.
