De Meesterbuurt, Schiedam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Lieftinckplein sits in a quiet part of Schiedam, with a sunny feel thanks to its 2003 build and energy label A. At 80 m², it's a comfortable size for a couple or small family. The price of €319,000 is on the high side compared to the recent average of €279,000 in the neighbourhood, but the modern specs and low running costs help explain that. For context, apartments in Schiedam vary widely, so this one stands out for its efficiency.
De Meesterbuurt is a compact, urban neighbourhood with around 970 residents. It's densely built up, with mostly flats and a mix of ages, a quarter of residents are over 65, and a third are between 25 and 45. The one review available gives it a 4.38 out of 5, but the resident is critical: "The parking is really too full, the people are very antisocial. You really get nothing from the neighbours here, they just ignore you and walk on." They do appreciate the proximity to shops and schools. So while the area is convenient, the sense of community is lacking. For more on the area, see the De Meesterbuurt neighbourhood.
Your daily shopping is a breeze: the PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. For school runs, primary school Het Startblok is a five-minute walk, and IKC Blink is also close. Secondary school Lyceum Schravenlant is within walking distance too. The neighbourhood is very urban, with a high address density, so everything you need is nearby. For broader context, the municipality of Schiedam offers a range of amenities within easy reach.
At the time of writing, the home is listed only via Makelaardij Thuis.

The parking is really too full, the people are very antisocial. You really get nothing from the neighbours here, they just ignore you and walk on. What is a plus point is that you live close to shops and schools, which is very handy and easily accessible. You really miss the sense of community in the neighbourhood because that used to be the case. There are also many people walking around with dangerous loose dogs like pitbulls that recently bit another dog. That is also dangerous for the residents themselves.

About Lieftinckplein 14, Schiedam
The asking price of €319,000 is above the recent average sale price of €279,000 in De Meesterbuurt. However, this apartment is modern (built in 2003) with an A energy label, which typically commands a premium. The neighbourhood had only one sale recently, so the market is thin. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the low energy costs and modern finish.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home has good insulation and modern heating, so you can expect relatively low energy bills. In the neighbourhood, all homes have label A, so this is consistent with the area's building stock from 1990-2010.
According to a resident review, parking is "really too full" in the neighbourhood. The area is densely built up with a high address density, so street parking may be competitive. The listing does not mention a private parking spot, so you would rely on on-street parking, which could be a challenge.
Several schools are within walking distance. Primary school Het Startblok is 174 metres away, IKC Blink is 274 metres, and IBS Ababil is 491 metres. For secondary education, Lyceum Schravenlant is 331 metres away. All are easily accessible on foot.
The PLUS supermarket is just 75 metres from the apartment, literally on your doorstep. Lidl is 222 metres away, and Albert Heijn is 708 metres. Daily groceries are very convenient.
The neighbourhood recorded 71 total crimes recently, but without a per-capita comparison it's hard to judge. One resident mentioned "dangerous loose dogs" and antisocial behaviour. However, the overall review score is 4.38 out of 5, suggesting mixed experiences.
The train station is 2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. It's not within immediate walking distance but is reachable by bike or bus.
