Wibautbuurt is a densely built area with mostly pre-1970 flats. One resident describes it as "one of the worse neighbourhoods in Schiedam", noting that "there are still loitering youths every day who are loud, which is extremely annoying." That's based on a single review, so it's one perspective. The neighbourhood Wibautbuurt has a mix of households, with many singles and families with children.
For groceries, Lidl is just around the corner, and PLUS and Coop are a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including IBS Ababil and De Taaltuin, both a few minutes' walk. The municipality Schiedam offers further amenities like parks and restaurants nearby.
At the time of writing the home is listed via REMAX Totaal Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

I've lived in West and East before. Wibautbuurt is a lot better than Schiedam East, but here there are still loitering youths every day who are loud, which is extremely annoying.
