Centrum: a lively but challenged neighbourhood

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.

Frequently asked questions
About Havenstraat 10A, Vlaardingen
Was €350,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €350,000 was close to the average price of €351,382 for homes at the time for sale in Centrum. The median price was €317,500, and the average price per m² was €3,793, so at 98 m² the price per m² worked out to about €3,571, which was slightly below the neighbourhood average. Given that the home had an energy label F, which meant higher energy costs, the price seemed in line with the market.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
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.
What is the neighbourhood like in terms of safety?
The neighbourhood had 467 total crimes reported in the latest data, which is relatively high for a neighbourhood of this size. One resident mentioned issues with waste and drug users, though they personally felt safe. The urban environment is very dense, which can contribute to a lively but sometimes challenging atmosphere. It's worth visiting at different times to get a feel for the area.
How far is the train station?
