A 1960s apartment in Schiedam
This three-bedroom apartment on Dr Zamenhofstraat 19D sits in the Wetenschappersbuurt, a quiet corner of Schiedam where the streets are named after scientists. Built in 1963, it is a typical example of the post-war housing that makes up much of this part of town. The asking price of €229,000 is keen compared with the neighbourhood average of €309,929, which works out at about 26% below that figure. For context, apartments in Schiedam currently average around €3,297 per square metre.

The living area is listed as 80 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 69 m². According to the agent, the home has been on the market since 28 October 2026. The energy label is G, which is the least efficient label, so expect higher heating costs. There is no mention of any garden, balcony or garage in the listing.
