About Chopinplein 137, Schiedam
The asking price is 30% below the neighbourhood average of €269,700 and is the lowest among the 20 apartments currently for sale in Van Beethovenbuurt.

The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, 68.2% of homes have label C and 9.1% have label B, so this apartment is less efficient than the majority.

At 53 m², this apartment is 41% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 90 m². The average price per square metre in the area is €3,034, so this home's price per m² works out slightly higher than that average, reflecting the compact size.
