Centrum, Vlaardingen
NeighbourhoodThis 1930s apartment on dr. Abraham Kuyperstraat is right in the thick of things. At 57 m² it's compact, but the location makes up for it, shops, cafés and the market square are all just around the corner. The energy label is D, so heating costs are something to factor in. With a price of €245,000, this home is keenly priced compared to other apartments in Vlaardingen, coming in about 30% below the neighbourhood average.
Centrum is the bustling core of Vlaardingen, with over 6,400 residents. It's a dense, urban area, mostly flats and apartments, and many single-person households. One resident sums it up: "It's good but could be better!" They mention suffering from waste and drug users in the area, and while they personally don't feel unsafe, many neighbours do. They also miss the trees and nature that used to be there. The municipality Vlaardingen is working on the city centre, but it's a mixed picture.
For your morning bread, Dirk is just a couple of streets away, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. Lidl is a bit further but still walkable. There are several primary schools nearby: IKC 't Palet and IKC De Bavinck are both just around the corner, and IKC Erasmus is a ten-minute walk. For secondary school you'd need to travel a bit further, about 1.6 km to the nearest one.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including De Witte Garantiemakelaars Vlaardingen.

Suffering from the waste and drug users in the area. I am a reasonably large-built man so I certainly don't feel unsafe, but many neighbours certainly do, and I miss the trees and nature that used to be there.

About dr. Abraham Kuyperstraat 75, Vlaardingen
The asking price is €245,000, which is about 30% below the average asking price in Centrum (€351,382). However, this apartment is also smaller than average (57 m² vs 100 m²). Compared to similar-sized homes in the area, the price per m² is roughly €4,298, which is above the neighbourhood average of €3,793 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size.
The energy label is D. That means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, you can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 37% of homes have a label D or lower, so it's fairly common for a 1930s apartment.
One resident review mentions suffering from waste and drug users in the area. The reviewer, a reasonably large-built man, doesn't feel unsafe personally, but notes that many neighbours do. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 467, which is relatively high for a city centre. It's worth being aware of this if you're considering the area.
The nearest train station is 6.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bus or bike to reach it.
The nearest park or public garden is 0.4 km away, about a five-minute walk. That's a reasonable distance for a quick stroll or to let children play. The resident review mentions missing trees and nature, so green space may be limited in the immediate vicinity.
In the past year, homes in Centrum sold after an average of 27 days on the market. That's fairly quick, suggesting reasonable demand. However, this apartment's price is below average, so it may attract interest quickly.
