Westfrankelandsestraat 85

At 191 m², that works out to about €1,963 per m², which is reasonable for a spacious apartment in Schiedam-West. The E energy label means higher running costs, so factor that in. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but the price per m² is in line with what you'd expect for a pre-war apartment of this size.

Schrijversbuurt is a very urban area with a mix of families and singles. About 39% of homes are single-family, and 61% are owner-occupied. Resident reviews are split: one praises the cosy, family-friendly street with play facilities, while another complains about anti-social behaviour and mess. It's a dense, lively area with plenty of shops and schools nearby.

The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's a bit far for a daily commute on foot, but cycling is easy.

There are several primary schools within walking distance: Christelijke Basisschool De Wieken is just 111 m away, Montessori Schiedam at 244 m, and obs Het Kleurrijk at 442 m. For secondary education, ProNovaCollege is 397 m away. So school runs are very manageable on foot.

Energy label E means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a modern home. The 1927 construction and lack of recent insulation upgrades are likely the cause. It's worth budgeting for potential improvements if you want to lower costs.

Yes, the Coop is just 307 m away, so a couple of streets away. Lidl, Dirk, Albert Heijn and PLUS are all within 1 km, making daily shopping easy on foot or by bike.
