Wibautbuurt, Schiedam
NeighbourhoodThis 43 m² studio on Burgemeester Gijsenlaan is a no-frills starter home in a densely built part of Schiedam. With an energy label G, heating costs will be a real consideration. The asking price of €190,000 is 27% below the neighbourhood average of €259,063, which makes sense given the small floor area and poor energy rating. For context, other studios in Schiedam tend to be priced more in line with the market.
The neighbourhood Wibautbuurt scores a 6.38 out of 10 from one review. The resident says: "I've lived in West and East before. Wibautbuurt is a lot better than Schiedam East, but here there are still loitering youths every day who are loud, which is extremely annoying." The neighbourhood is very urban (address density 3846 per km²) and has a mix of ages, with many 25-45 year olds. Most homes were built between 1945 and 1970, and 62.5% have an energy label D or lower.

About Burgemeester Gijsenlaan 27, Schiedam
The asking price is 27% below the average asking price in Wibautbuurt (€259,063), but the studio is also 30% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 61 m². Given the small floor area and energy label G, the price seems in line with what you'd expect for a compact, inefficient home in this area.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. In Wibautbuurt, 62.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so a G label is not unusual for the area, but it is something to factor into your budget.
Wibautbuurt is very urban with shops and schools within walking distance. Lidl is just around the corner, and several primary schools are a five-minute walk away. There is a park nearby.

The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bus ride. The listing does not specify bus connections, but the area is well served by public transport given its urban density.
