Binnenstad, Schiedam
NeighbourhoodThis 103 m² apartment on Boterstraat 42B sits right in the lively centre of Schiedam. With an A+ energy label, it's exceptionally efficient, only a fraction of homes in the area reach that level. The asking price of €495,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but the size and label set it apart. For context, you can compare it with other apartments in Schiedam.
The neighbourhood Binnenstad is densely built and very urban, with over 5,400 addresses per km². It's a young area: most residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone. One long-term resident says: "I've lived here for 14 years, very special because my father was born on this street. But in recent years the neighbourhood has deteriorated. They gave it a makeover but that doesn't improve anything. More people live here and also different people at the same addresses who simply don't belong here. It's very noisy and the nuisance has increased." That's the only review, so it's a single perspective.
For groceries, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, just 100 metres away. Coop and Dirk are also just around the corner. For primary schools, Basisschool de Singel is a five-minute walk, and Basisschool Kaleidoscoop is a couple of streets away. The municipality Schiedam offers plenty of restaurants within a few minutes' walk, and the train station is a ten-minute walk.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Heerlijk Thuis B.V., Funda, Pararius, Vastgoed Nederland and Huispedia.

About Boterstraat 42B, Schiedam
The asking price of €495,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €375,000 and the average sold price of €397,310. However, this apartment is larger (103 m²) than the average sold home (117 m²) and has an A+ energy label, which is rare in the area. The price per m² works out to about €4,806, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,227 per m². So it's on the high side, but the efficiency and size justify a premium.
The energy label is A+, the highest possible. This means the home is very energy-efficient, with low heating and electricity costs.
