About Hargplein 84, Schiedam
The asking price of €400,000 is in line with what other mid-terrace homes in Schiedam are listed for. Without specific market data for the Zwaluwbuurt, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not out of the ordinary for a 124 m² house with a garden-sized plot.

How residents experience their municipality
The parking is really too full, the people are very antisocial. You really get nothing from the neighbours here, they just ignore you and walk on. What is a plus point is that you live close to shops and schools, which is very handy and easily accessible. You really miss the sense of community in the neighbourhood because that used to be the case. There are also many people walking around with dangerous loose dogs like pitbulls that recently bit another dog. That is also dangerous for the residents themselves.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's nice but a lot of rubbish needs to be tidied up again, a show-off who keeps everything to himself and makes sure it stays tidy.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is fun with the windmills, whisper boat, jenever museum. There are fun things to do, come and have a look, Schiedam is nice.
