Frequently asked questions
About Merellaan 495, Maassluis
Is €350,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €350,000 is 49% below the average asking price in the Vogelbuurt (€686,800), but the apartment is also 30% smaller than the neighbourhood average (104 m² vs 148 m²). Given the size and the fact that only five homes are currently for sale in the area, the price is on the keen side compared to the local market.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label B indicates a reasonably efficient home, so you can expect moderate energy costs. It does not necessarily say anything about the insulation or heating system, it is simply the registered label.
How far is the nearest train station?

Is the neighbourhood safe?

Auto-translated to English by AIPlus: atmospheric, close to amenities, characteristic houses Min: nuisance from mice, neighbours often on the street for coffee/drinks or even BBQ, poor parking. Maintenance by the municipality is mediocre: lots of weeds, often rubbish on the street

Auto-translated to English by AINice, cosy, quiet street. Lots of elderly people, which makes it a quiet neighbourhood. Here we look out for each other and are there for each other when needed. Once a year we get together to fill the hanging baskets, which we also maintain together. A low score for safety, and this is because of the youngsters who come from the nightlife in the village, are cheeky, make noise and even ring doorbells at night!!
