A calm apartment in the Vogelbuurt
This apartment on Merellaan 777 sits in the Vogelbuurt, a quiet residential corner of Maassluis where life moves at a gentle pace. With a living area of 126 square metres according to the BAG registration, the last known asking price of €415,000 worked out at €3,294 per square metre. That put it 40% below the average asking price of €686,800 for homes in this neighbourhood, so it sat on the low side of the local market. For context, [apartments in Maassluis]( /koopwoningen/maassluis/appartementen/) typically follow a different price pattern. This home has not been online since 25 September 2026.
The home itself
The listing did not provide details on the layout, number of rooms, or outdoor space, so the picture of the interior remained incomplete. What was clear was that the apartment was built in 1970 and had an energy label D, the least efficient label, so heating costs were likely to be on the higher side. The living area of 126 square metres, as registered in the BAG, gave a sense of the space on offer, though the agent had not confirmed this figure in the listing.
