Lange Singelstraat 103A

At 62 m² and €210,000, the price per square metre is around €3,387. That's in line with what you'd expect for an apartment in this part of Schiedam, especially given the pre-war character and the central location. The energy label F does mean higher running costs, so factor that into your budget.

Marconibuurt is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a young population. It's very walkable, with shops, schools and a park all within a few minutes' walk. The address density is high, so it's a lively area. The train station is about 1.1 km away, making it easy to reach Rotterdam or The Hague.

The closest supermarket is Dirk at about 529 metres, so a five-minute walk. Lidl and SPAR are also within 700 metres, giving you several options for daily shopping.

There are several primary schools within walking distance. De Kubus is just 98 metres away, Basisschool Kaleidoscoop at 141 metres, and Basisschool de Singel at 316 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.9 km away.

The energy label is F, which means the home is not very energy efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. It's worth considering improvements like insulation or double glazing, but those are not included in the listing.

The apartment was built in 1929, so it's a pre-war property. That often means solid construction and high ceilings, but also that the energy performance may be lower than modern builds.
