About Dam 13A, Schiedam
The asking price is 67% below the average asking price in Brandersbuurt (€590,714) and is the lowest of the seven homes currently for sale. However, the flat is also 56% smaller than the neighbourhood average (144 m²) and has an F energy label, which means higher energy costs. Given these factors, the price is keen for a compact, older home in a central location.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means the home is likely to have poor insulation and higher heating bills compared to a more modern property. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older building, but you should budget for higher energy costs.
Brandersbuurt is very central and densely built, with a high address density. There are several supermarkets within a few minutes' walk, including Albert Heijn, Dirk, and Lidl. Primary schools are also close by, and the train station is 1.5 km away. The area has a mix of residents, with many young adults and singles, and one resident calls it a 'cosy neighbourhood.'
The nearest train station is 1.5 km from the home, which is about a 15-20 minute walk.
The floor area is 64 m², which typically accommodates one or two bedrooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor space.
