A compact apartment in the heart of Vlaardingen
This 1934 apartment on Mr. Troelstrastraat sits right in the thick of things. At 64 m² it was compact, but the real story was the price: at €229,500 it sat 35% below the neighbourhood average last known asking price of €351,382. That makes it a notably keen entry point into the local market, especially compared to other apartments in Vlaardingen. This home has not been online since 29 July 2026.
Centrum: busy, urban, and a bit rough around the edges
Centrum is the dense, lively core of Vlaardingen, with a very high address density (3,925 addresses per km²). It's a mix of ages and household types, with many singles and a fair number of families. One resident sums it up: "It's good but could be better!", they mention suffering from waste and drug users in the area, and while they personally don't feel unsafe, many neighbours do. They also miss the greenery that used to be there. That's based on a single review, so it's one perspective on life in this municipality Vlaardingen neighbourhood.

The neighbourhood has a high crime rate (467 total offences), which is something to be aware of.
