Fransenstraat 21A
Centrum, Vlaardingen
NeighbourhoodA classic apartment in the heart of Vlaardingen
This apartment on Fransenstraat sits right in the middle of Vlaardingen's lively centre. With 116 m² of living space, it's a generous home for a couple or a small family. The price of €350,000 is a touch above the neighbourhood average, but that reflects the size and central location. For context, apartments in Vlaardingen typically sell for around €3,640 per m², so this one is in line with the market.
Centrum: busy, urban, and a bit rough around the edges
Centrum is the beating heart of Vlaardingen, with a very high address density of 3,925 addresses per km². It's a mixed area: lots of singles (1,785 one-person households) and a fair number of families with children (885). The average household size is just 1.8, so it's mostly smaller households. One resident sums it up: "It's good but could be better!", they mention issues with waste and drug users, but also note they don't feel unsafe themselves. The neighbourhood has a lot of pre-war housing (69% built before 1945), which gives it character. Centrum is definitely not a quiet suburb, but if you like being where the action is, it works.
Daily life on Fransenstraat
You won't need to go far for groceries: Albert Heijn is just around the corner, Dirk is a couple of streets away, and Lidl is a five-minute walk. For school runs, IKC Van Kampen is on your doorstep, and IKC 't Palet is a short walk. The neighbourhood has a park or public garden within a five-minute walk, and a library is also close by. The municipality of Vlaardingen keeps the centre well-served with amenities, so you'll find restaurants, a GP, and a supermarket all within a few hundred metres.

Frequently asked questions
About Fransenstraat 21A, Vlaardingen
Is €350,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €350,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €344,208 and the median of €315,000. However, this apartment is larger than average (116 m² vs 97 m²), so the price per m² (€3,017) is actually below the neighbourhood average of €3,640. That makes it a reasonable deal for the size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C is in the middle of the scale, it's not the most efficient, but also not the least. Expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, 22.2% of homes have label C, while 44.4% have a lower label (D or below).
How is the neighbourhood for safety?
One resident review mentions issues with waste and drug users in the area, but the reviewer (a reasonably large-built man) says he doesn't feel unsafe. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 467, which is relatively high for a small area, but the resident's experience suggests it's more about nuisance than danger.
What public transport is nearby?
The nearest train station is 6.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance.
Are there parks or green spaces nearby?
Yes, the nearest park or public garden is 400 m away, about a five-minute walk. The resident review mentions missing trees and nature, so the green spaces may be limited, but there is at least one within easy reach.
How many bedrooms does this apartment have?
With 116 m² of floor area, it could have two or three bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
Experiences from Centrum
How residents experience their neighbourhood
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.

Experiences from Vlaardingen
How residents experience their municipality
Beautiful neighbourhood with many recreational opportunities
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is nice and for our apartment block there is a large green grass field with a small playground for the children. It's just that after half past six in the evening it's very difficult to find a parking spot close to home. My boyfriend often comes home later and then has to park his car outside the neighbourhood on the street of the Auto1st van Toorn garage. It's not nice when you come home around midnight and still have to walk almost 10 minutes.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything is easily accessible. It's lively and child-friendly. All basic amenities are available. Litter is still an eyesore. So are incorrectly parked bicycles.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood, close to the centre of Vlaardingen and public transport within walking distance.
Auto-translated to English by AIA lot of noise. Street dirt.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for 6 years with my brother, father and mother. As soon as we arrived, we were immediately welcomed by almost the entire neighbourhood. There are also many children living here, which I like.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood experience, nice neighbourhood and everything is nearby
Auto-translated to English by AITerrible. Used to be a nice neighbourhood with people who were proud of their house and garden. Now only neglect and people who couldn't care less about how everything looks. We're next to a park and green zone, but in the evening you have to stay away from there.
