Centrum, Papendrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Meent sits right in the lively centre of Papendrecht, where the weekly market and terraces give the street a cheerful buzz. At 56 m² it's compact but efficient, and with an energy label B you won't be left out in the cold. The asking price of €245,000 is remarkably keen compared to the neighbourhood average, partly because this home is much smaller than the typical Centrum property.

Another calls it a "cosy neighbourhood near the shops". Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores an 8.88 out of 10. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Centrum.
Your morning bread run is a 65-metre stroll to the Jumbo, practically on your doorstep. A Lidl is just around the corner, so you've got two supermarkets within a couple of streets away. For school runs, the nearest primary school, Oranje Nassau, is a five-minute walk, and the Willem de Zwijger College for secondary education is about ten minutes on foot. The municipality Papendrecht keeps the centre tidy and well-maintained, with a park or public garden just a few streets away.

About Meent 18, Papendrecht
The asking price of €245,000 is 71% below the average asking price in Centrum (€848,333), but that average is skewed by much larger homes. The median price in the neighbourhood is €695,000, and this apartment is 56 m², 67% smaller than the average. Given its size and central location, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact apartment in this area.
Centrum is a lively but peaceful neighbourhood. Residents appreciate the mix of activity on the Meent, with its market and events, and the quiet because it's not on a busy road. It's a cosy area close to shops, with many single-person households and a significant number of older residents. The neighbourhood scores 8.88 out of 10 from two reviews.
The Jumbo is just 65 metres away, literally on your doorstep. There's also a Lidl at 181 metres, so you have two supermarkets within a very short walk. For a wider selection, an Aldi is about 1.1 km away.
The nearest primary school is Oranje Nassau, 518 metres away (about a five-minute walk). For secondary education, the Willem de Zwijger College is 730 metres away, roughly a ten-minute walk. There's also a special primary school, De Kameleon, at 327 metres.
The nearest train station is 5.2 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bus, bike or car to reach it. The station itself is not named in the listing.
The apartment has energy label B, which is quite efficient. You can expect relatively low heating costs compared to older homes with labels D or lower. In the neighbourhood, 20% of homes have label B, so this is a solid, average rating.
