Centrum, Vlaardingen
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Vaartweg sits right in the centre of Vlaardingen, where the streets are lively and everything is close by.

Centrum is a dense, highly urban neighbourhood with over 6,400 residents and an address density of 3,925 per km². Most homes are pre-war (69%), and just under half are owner-occupied. 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 trees and nature that used to be there. The municipality Vlaardingen is working on the area, but it's worth knowing the character before you buy.
For groceries, Dirk is just around the corner, Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: IKC 't Palet is a couple of minutes away, and IKC De Bavinck is also close. For secondary education, you'd need to travel a bit further, about 1.6 km to the nearest school. A park or public garden is a five-minute walk away, and there's a restaurant on your doorstep.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Vlietlanden NVM Makelaars.

Suffering from the waste and drug users in the area. I am a reasonably large-built man so I certainly don't feel unsafe, but many neighbours certainly do, and I miss the trees and nature that used to be there.

About Vaartweg 104C, Vlaardingen
The asking price of €225,000 is 36% below the average asking price in Centrum (€351,382) and also below the median of €317,500. However, the flat is smaller than average (67 m² vs 100 m²) and has an energy label F, which means higher energy costs. Given the location and condition, the price is on the low side, but you should factor in potential renovation costs.
Centrum is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. It has a mix of ages, with many singles and couples. The one resident review mentions issues with waste and drug users, and a lack of greenery. On the plus side, amenities are close by. It's a lively area but not for everyone.
The nearest train station is 6.1 km away, so you would need a bike, bus or car to reach it.
Dirk is just around the corner (297 m), Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk (530 m), and Lidl is a bit further (746 m). For daily shopping, you have plenty of options within walking distance.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the flat is not well insulated and heating costs will be high.
The listing does not specify the number of bedrooms.
