A spacious detached home in a quiet corner of Schiedam
This detached house on Polderweg sits in the green fringe of Schiedam, where the city meets the polder landscape. With 137 m² of living space on a 304 m² plot, it offers room to spread out. The 1954 build and energy label D mean it has solid bones but could benefit from modernisation. This home has not been online since 21 July 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Polderweg 176, Schiedam
Was €600,000 a fair price for this detached house?
Given the 137 m² floor area, 304 m² plot, and the fact that it was a detached house in a quiet neighbourhood, the price was in line with the market. Detached homes in Schiedam are scarce, so you're paying for the space and privacy. The energy label D meant heating costs would be higher than in a modern home, but the solid construction from 1954 was a plus.
What is the neighbourhood like?
Polderwetering is a small, quiet neighbourhood with mostly families. It has a low urbanity score, so you won't find busy streets or nightlife. The area is safe, with very few reported crimes. It's ideal if you value peace and space over city convenience.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 3.09 km away, so you'll need a bike or car to get there. It's not within walking distance for a daily commute, but the connection to Schiedam Centrum and Rotterdam is good once you're at the station.
What schools are nearby?
There are several primary schools within walking distance: KBS De Vlinder (894 m), De Violier (958 m), and Obs Het Windas (1.3 km). For secondary education, De Internationale Vos is about 1.6 km away. All are within a comfortable bike ride.
Is there a garden?
The listing did not explicitly mention a garden, but the plot size of 304 m² suggested there was outdoor space.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D, which is average for a house from 1954. It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a modern home. Insulation and heating upgrades could improve the label.
