Only 27% of homes are single-family, so apartments dominate. One resident, who gave the neighbourhood a 6.75, says: "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." This is based on a single review, so it's one perspective. The neighbourhood has a mix of incomes, with 46% owner-occupied homes.
For your morning bread, Dirk is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Lidl are a five-minute walk away. Primary schools are close: IKC 't Palet is on your doorstep, and IKC De Bavinck is a ten-minute walk. For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.6 km away. A GP is also just around the corner. The train station is 6.1 km away, so you'll likely rely on a bike or car for longer journeys.

About Havenstraat 10A, Vlaardingen
The asking price of €350,000 is close to the average price of €351,382 for homes currently for sale in Centrum. The median price is €317,500, and the average price per m² is €3,793, so at 98 m² the price per m² works out to about €3,571, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average. Given that the home has an energy label F, which means higher energy costs, the price seems in line with the market.
The energy label is F, which is on the lower end of the scale. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 37% of homes have a label D or lower, so an F label is not uncommon for a pre-war building. You may want to consider potential improvements like insulation or double glazing.
