About Johan Braakensiekstraat 75, Schiedam
The asking price of €275,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €357,500 and the median of €357,500. Recently sold apartments in the Vakbondsliedenbuurt went for an average of €376,250, so this home is priced keenly. However, it has an older energy label (D) and was built in 1966, which may factor into the lower price.
The energy label is D, which is average for a home of this age. In the neighbourhood, half of the homes have label D or lower, and half have label A+. A D label means heating costs will be moderate but not as low as a modern, well-insulated home.
The train station is 1.3 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to Rotterdam or The Hague straightforward.
Primary school Het Startblok is 591 m away, and IKC Blink is 843 m away. For secondary education, Lyceum Schravenlant is 613 m away and Lentiz | LIFE College is 940 m away. All are within a comfortable walking distance.
