A home with a view over the park
This fifth-floor gallery flat sits on Sibeliusplein in the Van Beethovenbuurt, a residential area in Schiedam where the streets are named after composers. The apartment is part of a complex built in 1971 and is set against a park, so the outlook is green rather than a wall of neighbours. With a last known price of €290,000, the asking price was on the high side compared with the average of €270,917 for homes at the time for sale in the neighbourhood. The living area of 108 m² is 27% larger than the neighbourhood average of 85 m², which helps explain the premium. For context, the average price per m² in the neighbourhood was €3,288, while this home came in at €2,685 per m².
