About Griegplein 85, Schiedam
The asking price is 17% below the neighbourhood average of €269,700, which makes it keenly priced. However, the apartment is also 41% smaller than the average home in the area (53 m² vs 90 m²). Compared to similar-sized flats in Schiedam, the price per m² (€4,245) is above the neighbourhood average of €3,034, so you're paying a premium for the compact size.
It's a quiet, mature neighbourhood with mostly 1970s flats. Over half of residents are 65 or older, and many live alone. There are few children, so it's not a family-oriented area. The streets are calm, and the crime rate is low. Public transport is limited, the nearest train station is 4.1 km away, but daily shopping is easy with Aldi just around the corner.
The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a home of this age. In the neighbourhood, 68% of homes have label C, and 9% have label B. You can expect moderate energy costs, but not the highest efficiency. The building dates from 1970, so insulation may not be as good as modern standards.
Two primary schools are within walking distance: El Furkan Basisschool (about 300 m) and Basisschool Loep (about 330 m). For secondary education, De Mavo Vos is about 500 m away, and De Internationale Vos is about 600 m. All are within a ten-minute walk.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km from the apartment. That's a 10-minute drive or a 15-minute bus ride. The area is not well connected by rail, so a car or bicycle is useful for longer journeys.
Yes, a park or public garden is just 0.3 km away, about a five-minute walk. It's a good spot for a stroll or to sit outside. The neighbourhood itself has some greenery between the blocks of flats.
