NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Dr Wibautplein is a standout in the Wibautbuurt. With 102 m² of living space, it's considerably larger than the average home in the area.

That's the only review, so it's a single perspective. The neighbourhood Wibautbuurt has a high proportion of pre-1970 housing (69%), but this apartment is from 1999, so it's newer than most.

I've lived in West and East before. Wibautbuurt is a lot better than Schiedam East, but here there are still loitering youths every day who are loud, which is extremely annoying.
