Schrijversbuurt, Schiedam
NeighbourhoodThis 1929 terraced house on Potgieterstraat sits in the heart of Schiedam-West, where the streets are lined with similar pre-war homes and the atmosphere is unmistakably urban. With 134 m² of living space spread over three floors, it offers room for a family or anyone who wants space without moving to the outskirts. The energy label C means the home is reasonably efficient, though you can expect to spend a bit on heating in winter. At €399,000, the asking price is in line with what other terraced houses in Schiedam go for.
The Schrijversbuurt is a dense, lively part of Schiedam with a very strong urban feel, over 3,800 addresses per km². Two residents reviewed the area, and their views couldn't be more different. One calls it a "nice neighbourhood for families" and says: "Particularly cosy street and neighbourhood where many children can play outside and there is nature and fun play facilities nearby." The other gives a blunt "Bad" and mentions "lots of gangsters, lots of mess. People are not social." With 95 reported crimes, it's not the quietest pocket, but many families do live here, about 40% of households have children. The neighbourhood Schrijversbuurt is clearly a mixed bag.
For your morning bread, the Coop is just around the corner, and a Lidl is a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within a couple of streets: Christelijke Basisschool De Wieken is on your doorstep, obs Het Kleurrijk is a short stroll, and Sint Bernardus is also close by. For secondary school, ProNovaCollege is about a five-minute walk. The municipality Schiedam has plenty of restaurants and a park within walking distance, so you won't be short of places to unwind.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Anke Bodewes Makelaardij o.g. B.V.
