Babberspolder Noord, Vlaardingen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Burgemeester A. van Walsumlaan sits in a quiet residential pocket of Vlaardingen.

The area has a strong urban feel, address density is high at 2,718 addresses per km², yet it remains calm.

The asking price of €275,000 is 27% below the average asking price in Babberspolder Noord (€374,857). However, the apartment is also 33% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 103 m². Given that homes here sell in about 19 days on average, the price seems keen for a compact unit.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern property. The neighbourhood has no homes with label A or B; half are label C and half are D or lower, so this is in line with the older housing stock.
The nearest train station is 4.7 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, bus or car to reach it.

A lot of noise. Street dirt.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for 6 years with my brother, father and mother. As soon as we arrived, we were immediately welcomed by almost the entire neighbourhood. There are also many children living here, which I like.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood experience, nice neighbourhood and everything is nearby
Auto-translated to English by AIOften fun things to do, but also negative ones, like the bin shelter being closed off, now we (60) have to walk with our rubbish..
Auto-translated to English by AIWe've been living here for 20 years and are very happy. Reasonably quiet, shops and public transport nearby, nice neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AINever wanted to live here, but now I'm so happy. Nice people. Nice neighbours. You ask what could be better, well very simple: open that one road again for everyone, now it's only for bus and taxi, and you have to drive around and know the way. Very hard for visitors to find.

How residents experience their municipality
Beautiful neighbourhood with many recreational opportunities
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is nice and for our apartment block there is a large green grass field with a small playground for the children. It's just that after half past six in the evening it's very difficult to find a parking spot close to home. My boyfriend often comes home later and then has to park his car outside the neighbourhood on the street of the Auto1st van Toorn garage. It's not nice when you come home around midnight and still have to walk almost 10 minutes.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything is easily accessible. It's lively and child-friendly. All basic amenities are available. Litter is still an eyesore. So are incorrectly parked bicycles.

Auto-translated to English by AITerrible. Used to be a nice neighbourhood with people who were proud of their house and garden. Now only neglect and people who couldn't care less about how everything looks. We're next to a park and green zone, but in the evening you have to stay away from there.
