About Merellaan 733, Maassluis
The asking price of €285,000 is 59% below the average asking price in the Vogelbuurt (€686,800) and also below the median of €495,000. However, this apartment is smaller than the neighbourhood average (67 m² vs 148 m²) and has an E energy label, which explains the lower price. Compared to the five apartments currently for sale in the neighbourhood, it is the cheapest.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label. In the Vogelbuurt, about a third of homes have label B, a third label C, and a third label D or lower, so this apartment falls in the least efficient group.
The nearest train station is 13.8 km away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need a bike, bus or car to reach it. The station is not named in the listing.
There are several supermarkets within a short walk: Aldi at 650 m, Hoogvliet at 677 m, Lidl at 736 m, and Albert Heijn at 772 m. A restaurant and a library are both about 600 m away, so daily errands and a bite out are easy on foot.
The neighbourhood recorded 111 total crimes in the latest data, which for a population of 3,670 works out at about 30 per 1,000 residents. That is moderate. The area feels quiet and residential, with many older residents and a mix of families.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: IKC De Regenboog (620 m), IKC De Westhoek (627 m), IKC Vindingrijk (726 m), and De Reiziger (845 m). Secondary education is further away at 2.4 km, so a bike or bus is needed for older children.
In the past year, sold homes in the Vogelbuurt took an average of 58 days to sell. That is a fairly typical timeframe, suggesting a balanced market without extreme pressure.
