Sandersbuurt, Schiedam
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Geervlietsestraat is a compact home in the Sandersbuurt neighbourhood of Schiedam. At 38 m² it is small, but the price of €185,000 is 44% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €330,625, a keen entry point into the market. For context, studios in Schiedam tend to be smaller and more affordable than family homes.
The Sandersbuurt is a densely built area with a mix of pre-war housing. One resident describes it as a 'Crazy neighbourhood', noting that many people without gardens sit on the pavement in summer, and that there are some junkies around. They add: 'During the day it's fine, but in the evening/at night I don't go outside. Often also noise nuisance from screaming neighbours (children), barking dogs.' This is based on a single review, so it's one perspective. The neighbourhood Sandersbuurt has a high proportion of one-person households and families with children, and the average income is around the national median.
For your daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there are several other supermarkets a bit further out. Primary schools are close by: Sint Willibrordusschool is a couple of streets away, and Sint Jozefschool is a five-minute walk. The municipality Schiedam offers a range of amenities, including a library and restaurants within walking distance.

Many people without a garden, who just sit on the pavement in summer. Quite a lot of simple people live here. There are a few junkies here and there. During the day it's fine, but in the evening/at night I don't go outside. Often also noise nuisance from screaming neighbours (children), barking dogs.

About Geervlietsestraat 10A2, Schiedam
The asking price of €185,000 is 44% below the neighbourhood average of €330,625. However, the studio is also 60% smaller than the average home in the area (38 m² vs 96 m²). Given the compact size and the condition of a 1923 building with energy label C, the price seems in line with what you'd expect for a small studio in this part of Schiedam.
The Sandersbuurt is a dense, pre-war neighbourhood with a mix of residents. One resident describes it as 'Crazy', mentioning that many people sit on the pavement in summer and that there can be noise from neighbours and some anti-social behaviour. During the day it feels safe, but at night some prefer not to go out alone. It's a lively area with a strong community feel, but not for those seeking peace and quiet.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. Schiedam Centrum station offers connections to Rotterdam, The Hague, and beyond.
Albert Heijn is just around the corner (229 m) for daily groceries. There are also Dirk, Coop, and other supermarkets within 1-2 km. Primary schools include Sint Willibrordusschool (377 m) and Sint Jozefschool (557 m). Secondary schools are further away, at 2.3 km.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a pre-war building. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern home. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, with 25% of homes at label C and 37.5% at D or lower.
