Van Beethovenbuurt, Schiedam
NeighbourhoodThis 95 m² apartment on Chopinplein sits in a quiet, leafy part of Schiedam. Built in 1970 and with energy label C, it offers a solid floor plan. At €370,000, the asking price is 37% above the neighbourhood average of €269,700, clearly on the high side, but the size and location may justify it. For context, apartments in Schiedam vary widely in price.
The neighbourhood Van Beethovenbuurt is home to about 1,555 residents, many of them aged 65 or over (545). It's a very urban area (address density 3,308 per km²), yet quiet. Most homes are flats, and 46% are owner-occupied. No resident reviews are available, so the picture comes from CBS data: a mix of singles and older couples, with few children.
For groceries, Dirk is just around the corner, and Aldi is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools, Basisschool Loep and El Furkan Basisschool, are within a five-minute walk, while Stedelijk Gymnasium Schiedam is a ten-minute walk for secondary education. The municipality Schiedam provides all local services, from a GP to a library.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via 3D Makelaars B.V. and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.
