Centrum, Vlaardingen
NeighbourhoodThis one-bedroom apartment on the Hoogstraat sits right in the middle of the historic centre, with the lively street life just outside your door. At 51 m² it's compact but efficient, and with an A energy label it's also cheap to run. The asking price of €264,500 is keen, 25% below the average asking price for apartments in Vlaardingen, though the floor area is smaller than the neighbourhood norm.
Centrum is the dense, walkable core of Vlaardingen, with a very high address density (3,925 addresses per km²). It's a mixed area: lots of singles and young adults, but also families with children. One resident sums it up: "It's good but could be better!", they mention suffering from waste and drug users, and miss the greenery that used to be there. Still, as a reasonably large-built man they don't feel unsafe, though many neighbours do. The municipality Vlaardingen is working on the area, but it's a work in progress.
For your morning bread, Dirk is just around the corner, Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away, and Lidl is a five-minute walk. For school runs, IKC 't Palet (primary) is 290 m away and IKC Van Kampen is 314 m, both within easy walking distance. The nearest GP is also on your doorstep, and there's a park or public garden 400 m away for a bit of green.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Van der Laan Makelaardij and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

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.

About Hoogstraat 144A, Vlaardingen
The asking price is 25% below the average asking price in Centrum (€351,382) and also below the median (€317,500). However, the apartment is smaller than average at 51 m² versus 100 m². Given the A energy label and central location, the price looks keen, but you're paying for location and efficiency, not square metres.
Centrum is the bustling heart of Vlaardingen, with a very high density of addresses and a mix of singles, young adults and families. It's lively but has some downsides: one resident mentions waste and drug users in the area, and many neighbours feel unsafe. The area lacks green spaces, but has all amenities within walking distance.
The nearest train station is 6.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bus, bike or car to reach it. The area is better served by local buses and trams.
The apartment has an A energy label, which is very efficient. That means low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, only 16.7% of homes have label A, so this is a good find.
Yes, several: Dirk is 180 m away, Albert Heijn 237 m, and Lidl 352 m. All are within a five-minute walk, so daily shopping is very convenient.
Primary schools IKC 't Palet (290 m) and IKC Van Kampen (314 m) are both within a short walk. For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.6 km away.
