A calm apartment in the Vogelbuurt
This apartment on the Merellaan sits in the Vogelbuurt, a residential pocket of Maassluis where life moves at a relaxed pace. The street itself is quiet, with the bustle of the town centre a short stroll away. At 126 m², the living area is a quarter larger than the neighbourhood average of 101 m², which gives the home a sense of space that is rare in this price range. The asking price is €399,000. For context, [apartments in Maassluis]( /koopwoningen/maassluis/appartementen/) currently average €398,848.
The home itself
Built in 1970, this apartment occupies the second floor and spans a single level. The agent lists three rooms, including two bedrooms, and a volume of 384 m³. The energy label is B, which is an efficient label, so heating costs should be manageable. The home is offered via Dolphijn NVM Makelaardij, and the listing does not mention any garden, balcony, or garage, so outdoor space is not part of the package.
The Vogelbuurt
[The Vogelbuurt neighbourhood]( /buurt/vogelbuurt-maassluis/) is home to about 3,620 people, and a third of them are 65 or older, giving the area a settled, mature character. Residents across the municipality of Maassluis give their living environment an average score of 7.98, based on six reviews. One resident describes the area as "cosy and convenient shops nearby," while another calls it "beautiful, friendly and green." A third simply says "good."

Amenities and transport
Daily errands are easy from here. The Aldi, Lidl, and Hoogvliet supermarkets are all just around the corner, and the Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. For primary education, IKC De Westhoek and IKC De Regenboog are both a couple of streets away. The nearest GP is Huisartsenpraktijk Docwerk, and the pharmacy, Apotheek Furieade, is nearby, as is the Franciscus Maassluis hospital. For public transport, a metro stop with line B is just around the corner, and bus stops with lines 34, 826, and 9 are a short walk away. The nearest train station, Delft Campus, is about 11 km off, so rail travel requires a bit of planning. [The municipality of Maassluis]( /gemeente/maassluis/) itself offers a range of local services.
WOZ and address data

Road traffic noise is measured at 49 dB Lden, which is above the norm, while railway and aircraft noise are below their norms. The foundation risk indication is low, though the soil is clay, which is sensitive to settling. For climate, pluvial flooding at heavy rain is medium, current flood risk is low, and heat stress is medium now and in 2050.
