Schrijversbuurt, Schiedam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Dirk van Wassenaarstraat 23A sits in the Schrijversbuurt, a neighbourhood with a mixed reputation. At 45 m² it's compact, but the energy label A keeps running costs low. The asking price of €225,000 is in line with what you'd expect for a flat of this size in Schiedam. For context, apartments in Schiedam vary widely, but this one is priced keenly given its efficiency.
The neighbourhood Schrijversbuurt is densely built and very urban, with over 3,800 addresses per km². Based on two reviews, opinions are split. One resident calls it a "Nice neighbourhood for families" and says: "Particularly cosy street and neighbourhood where many children can play outside and there is nature and fun play facilities nearby." Another is less positive, describing "Lots of 'gangsters', lots of mess. People are not social, landlord does nothing about things in the house. In short, just a shit neighbourhood." The area has a mix of families and singles, and about 61% of homes are owner-occupied.
For groceries, the Coop is just around the corner, and a Lidl is a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Christelijke Basisschool De Wieken is a couple of streets away, and Montessori Schiedam is just around the corner. For secondary education, ProNovaCollege is about a five-minute walk. The municipality Schiedam has plenty of restaurants and parks nearby, with a park or garden just around the corner.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Schieland Borsboom NVM Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.
