With 118 m² of living space and a 98 m² plot, it offers a generous layout for a terraced home. The energy label C means it's reasonably efficient, though you'll want to budget for heating in winter. At €495,000, the price is in line with what other end-of-terrace houses in Schiedam are fetching.
The Schrijversbuurt is a dense, urban area with a strong sense of community, and some rough edges. One resident calls it a "nice neighbourhood for families", adding: "Particularly cosy street and neighbourhood where many children can play outside and there is nature and fun play facilities nearby." Another is less enthusiastic, describing "lots of 'gangsters', lots of mess" and a lack of social cohesion. Based on two reviews, it's a place where experiences vary. The neighbourhood Schrijversbuurt has a young population, with many households with children and a high proportion of single-person households.
For your morning bread, the Coop is just around the corner, and a Lidl is a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Christelijke Basisschool De Wieken is on your doorstep, Montessori Schiedam a couple of streets away, and obs Het Kleurrijk a five-minute stroll. Secondary school ProNovaCollege is also a five-minute walk. The municipality Schiedam has a train station 2.4 km away, so you'll need a bike or bus for the commute.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including BOS Makelaardij, Vastgoed Nederland and Pararius.

Auto-translated to English by AILots of “gangsters”, lots of mess. People are not social, landlord does nothing about things in the house. In short, just a shit neighbourhood.
