Centrum, Vlaardingen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hoogstraat sits right in the middle of Vlaardingen's lively centre. With 141 m² of living space, it's a generous home for a couple or a small family. The energy label A means it's efficient to run, and the price of €299,500 is keen compared to the average asking price in the neighbourhood, about 15% below the €351,382 average. For context, that's also well below the median of €317,500. If you're looking at apartments in Vlaardingen, this one stands out for its size and value.
Centrum is a dense, lively area with over 6,400 residents and a very high address density of 3,925 per km², so you're right in the thick of things. One resident describes it as "good but could be better", noting: "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." That's based on a single review, so it's one perspective. The neighbourhood has a mix of households: many singles (1,785) and a fair number of families with children (885). Most homes were built before 1945 (68.6%), and 46% are owner-occupied. For more on the area, see the municipality Vlaardingen page.
For your morning bread, Dirk is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Lidl is also within a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools nearby: IKC 't Palet and IKC Van Kampen are both just a few minutes' walk away. The nearest train station is 6.1 km away, so you'd rely on a bike or bus for longer journeys. A park or public garden is a five-minute walk away, and a restaurant is on your doorstep.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Van der Laan Makelaardij and Funda.
