Wibautbuurt, Schiedam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Burgemeester Gijsenlaan sits in the Wibautbuurt, a neighbourhood that feels a world away from the city centre. At 37 m² it's a compact home, and with an energy label G you can expect high heating costs. The asking price of €165,000 is the cheapest of the 16 homes currently for sale in the area, and sits 36% below the neighbourhood average of €259,063, a keen entry point for anyone looking at studios in Schiedam.
The Wibautbuurt is a densely built-up part of Schiedam, with a mix of pre-war and post-war housing. One resident describes it as "one of the worse neighbourhoods in Schiedam", noting that "there are still loitering youths every day who are loud, which is extremely annoying." That's based on a single review, so it's a personal perspective rather than a consensus. The area is very urban, with over 3,800 addresses per km², and a mix of families and singles. For more context, see the neighbourhood Wibautbuurt.
Daily errands are easy here. A Lidl is just around the corner, and PLUS, Coop, Albert Heijn and Dirk are all within a ten-minute walk. For schools, IBS Ababil and Openbare basisschool De Taaltuin are both a couple of streets away, and ProNovaCollege for secondary education is also nearby. The municipality Schiedam offers further amenities within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Driehoek Makelaardij, Vastgoed Nederland, Huispedia and Funda.

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.

About Burgemeester Gijsenlaan 42, Schiedam
At €165,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in the Wibautbuurt. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is €259,063, so this studio is 36% below that. However, it's also 39% smaller than the average floor area of 61 m² and has an energy label G, which means higher energy costs. Whether it's fair depends on how you weigh the low purchase price against the running costs.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. That means the home is not well insulated and you can expect high heating bills. In the Wibautbuurt, 62.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's something to budget for.
The nearest train station is 2.6 km away. That's about a 30-minute walk or a short bus ride.
