A pre-war apartment in the heart of Vlaardingen
This 1932 apartment on Dijklaan sits right in the centre of Vlaardingen, where the streets are lively and everything is close by. With 81 m² of living space and an energy label D, it's a solid, characterful home that needs a bit of warmth from its new owner. The last known asking price of €289,000 was 18% below the neighbourhood average of €351,382, making it a keen entry into the market compared to other apartments in Vlaardingen. This home has not been online since 16 July 2026.
Centrum: busy, central, and mixed
Centrum is the beating heart of Vlaardingen, with a very high address density of 3,925 per km², you're never far from a shop or a café. The population is diverse: lots of singles (1,785 one-person households) and a fair share of families with children (885). One resident sums it up: "It's good but could be better!", they mention suffering from waste and drug users in the area, but as a reasonably large-built man they don't feel unsafe, though many neighbours do. They also miss the trees and nature that used to be there. This is a neighbourhood with character, but not without its rough edges. For more context, see the municipality of Vlaardingen.
