About Jan van Zutphenstraat 59, Schiedam
The asking price is 42% below the average asking price in Schiehart (€401,765), but the flat is also 27% smaller than the neighbourhood average (77 m² vs 105 m²). Given the compact size and C energy label, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a smaller apartment in this area.
The energy label is C, which is average for a flat from 1962. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's worth checking the exact insulation and heating system.
The nearest train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk or a short bike ride. That gives you direct connections to Rotterdam and The Hague.
There are several supermarkets within walking distance: a Coop at 312 m, a SPAR at 475 m, and an Albert Heijn at 479 m. For daily shopping, you're well covered.
The CBS data shows 74 total crimes in the area, which is moderate for a dense urban neighbourhood. It's always a good idea to visit at different times to get a feel for the area.
Primary school Het Startblok is 634 m away, and Lyceum Schravenlant (secondary) is 711 m. Other options include IKC Blink and Basisschool Kaleidoscoop, all within a ten-minute walk.
