I've been living here for 6 years with my brother, father and mother. As soon as we arrived, we were immediately welcomed by almost the entire neighbourhood. There are also many children living here, which I like.

Auto-translated to English by AIOften fun things to do, but also negative ones, like the bin shelter being closed off, now we (60) have to walk with our rubbish..
Auto-translated to English by AIWe've been living here for 20 years and are very happy. Reasonably quiet, shops and public transport nearby, nice neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AINever wanted to live here, but now I'm so happy. Nice people. Nice neighbours. You ask what could be better, well very simple: open that one road again for everyone, now it's only for bus and taxi, and you have to drive around and know the way. Very hard for visitors to find.

About van Hogendorplaan 332, Vlaardingen
The asking price of €289,500 is in line with what other apartments in Vlaardingen sell for. The 71 m² floor area and 1958 construction year are typical for the area, though the F energy label means higher energy costs. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced compared to similar listings.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency. You can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a modern home. The exact amount depends on usage, but it's worth budgeting for higher monthly expenses. The home likely has single glazing and poor insulation, so improvements could save money in the long run.
The nearest train station is 5 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, bus or car to reach it. The bus network in Vlaardingen is decent, but for daily commuting by train, this location might be less convenient.
Residents describe Babberspolder West as a cosy, welcoming neighbourhood with many children. One resident says: "As soon as we arrived, we were immediately welcomed by almost the entire neighbourhood." Another notes: "Good experience, nice neighbourhood and everything is nearby."

Yes, several primary schools are within walking distance. Avonturijn, IKC Jan Ligthart and Jenaplan Vlaardingen Basisschool are all about 338 metres away, just a couple of streets from the home. Secondary education is also close, at 0.9 km. This makes the area practical for families with school-age children.
For daily groceries, Boon's Markt is 678 metres away and Aldi is 694 metres, both just around the corner. Lidl is 939 metres, a five-minute walk. A larger supermarket like Albert Heijn is 1.4 km away. Restaurants and a GP are also within 1 km, so most essentials are nearby.
