The asking price of €299,000 is close to the neighbourhood median of €297,500 for apartments. Given that this home is 70 m², 27% smaller than the average of 96 m², the price per square metre works out to about €4,271, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,545 per m². So while the total price is in line with the market, you're paying a premium per square metre for a smaller unit.
The energy label is B, which is quite efficient for a home built in 1908. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label B, and 12.5% have label A. A B label means the home is well insulated and you can expect reasonable energy costs, though not as low as a modern A+ property.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
Many people without a garden, who just sit on the pavement in summer. Quite a lot of simple people live here. There are a few junkies here and there. During the day it's fine, but in the evening/at night I don't go outside. Often also noise nuisance from screaming neighbours (children), barking dogs.

How residents experience their municipality
The parking is really too full, the people are very antisocial. You really get nothing from the neighbours here, they just ignore you and walk on. What is a plus point is that you live close to shops and schools, which is very handy and easily accessible. You really miss the sense of community in the neighbourhood because that used to be the case. There are also many people walking around with dangerous loose dogs like pitbulls that recently bit another dog. That is also dangerous for the residents themselves.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's nice but a lot of rubbish needs to be tidied up again, a show-off who keeps everything to himself and makes sure it stays tidy.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is fun with the windmills, whisper boat, jenever museum. There are fun things to do, come and have a look, Schiedam is nice.
