Wibautbuurt, Schiedam
NeighbourhoodThis 1950s apartment on Burgemeester Gijsenlaan sits in a lively part of Schiedam. With 45 m² of living space, it's a practical home for a single person or a couple. The energy label E means heating costs will be noticeable. At €225,000, the price is below the neighbourhood average of €259,000, but the floor area is 26% smaller than the typical 61 m² in the area, so it's in line with the market. For context, apartments in Schiedam vary widely in size and price.
The neighbourhood Wibautbuurt is densely built-up with mostly flats. One resident describes it as "one of the worse neighbourhoods in Schiedam," adding: "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." That's based on a single review. The area has a mix of ages, with many 25-45 year olds and a fair number of families. Crime figures are moderate for a city neighbourhood.
For groceries, you have Lidl just around the corner, PLUS a couple of streets away, and Coop within a five-minute walk. Schools are close too: IBS Ababil and Openbare basisschool De Taaltuin are both on your doorstep, and ProNovaCollege for secondary education is just around the corner. The municipality Schiedam offers plenty of local amenities, with a park or public garden a couple of streets away and a restaurant just around the corner.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Van Herk Makelaars and Van Herk Makelaars Rotterdam.
