About Groenelaan 95A, Schiedam
The asking price of €375,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €342,111 and the median of €350,000. At €4,213 per m², it's also above the neighbourhood average of €3,745 per m². However, the apartment is larger than average (89 m² vs 94 m² average) and has a good energy label C. Given that similar homes in the area sell within about 67 days, the price is on the high side but not unreasonable.
