About Lange Haven 57C, Schiedam
The asking price is 29% below the average asking price in Walvisbuurt (€454,833), but the apartment is also 26% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 121 m². Given the historic character and central location, the price is in line with the market for a 90 m² apartment with an F energy label.
The energy label is F, which is very poor. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. In Walvisbuurt, 66.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but you should budget for significant energy bills.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a 15-20 minute walk or a short cycle ride. Schiedam Centrum station offers connections to Rotterdam, The Hague, and beyond.
Walvisbuurt has few families with children (70 out of 475 households). Most residents are singles or couples without children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, but the area is more suited to professionals or couples than families with older children.
