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.

About Broersveld 140B, Schiedam
The asking price of €300,000 is about 39% below the average asking price in Binnenstad (€489,714) and also below the median of €375,000. However, this apartment is smaller than average (68 m² vs 117 m²) and has an energy label D. Compared to recent sales in the area, which averaged €397,310, the price seems keen, but the smaller size and lower energy rating explain part of the difference.
The energy label is D. That means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In Binnenstad, 42.9% of homes have label A or better, while another 42.9% have label D or lower, so this apartment is on the less efficient end of the spectrum.
The neighbourhood is very urban and densely populated, which can mean more noise. One resident mentioned that nuisance has increased and it's very noisy. Crime figures are relatively high, with 349 total offences recorded. It's a lively area, but peace and quiet may be hard to come by.
Dirk and Albert Heijn supermarkets are within a couple of minutes' walk. Several primary schools are close: Basisschool de Singel (272 m), Basisschool Kaleidoscoop (390 m), and De Kubus (457 m). Secondary schools are about 1.6 km away. Restaurants are just around the corner (0.1 km).
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk. That makes it feasible for commuting, though not directly on your doorstep.
This is an apartment built in 1906. That means it has some age and character, but also potential maintenance considerations. In Binnenstad, 70% of homes were built before 1945, so this is typical for the area.
