Schiedam Rent Prices: Testing Whether Metro Stops Buy Space

Schiedam presses directly against Rotterdam's western edge, close enough that the metro makes the boundary barely noticeable, yet it has kept a distinct rental market of its own around a compact historic centre and its distillery quarter. Renters often look here specifically to test whether the same money buys more floor area a few stops out, which is exactly the question the cost per square metre answers next to the median advertised rent.

Direction of travel

Schiedam rent price trend over 3, 6 and 12 months

Each window holds the median advertised rent for that period next to the equally long period before it. Reading all three together separates a short-term swing from a longer drift, which one window on its own can never do.

Last 3 monthsvs previous 3 months
€1,352+12.5%previously €1,201
Last 6 monthsvs previous 6 months
€1,290-0.8%previously €1,300
Last 12 monthsvs previous 12 months
€1,300+0.4%previously €1,295

Windows overlap by design: the twelve-month figure includes the three-month one, so a fast recent move shows up sharply in the short window and softly in the long one. A shift also reflects what is being advertised, not only what landlords charge — a period with more rooms or more furnished stock moves the median without any individual rent changing.

Newly advertised, 30 days

Composition

What is for rent in Schiedam: apartments, rooms, studios and furnishing

Two cities can share an asking rent and offer completely different things for it. This is the breakdown that explains the difference for Schiedam, across the last twelve months of represented listings.

Bedrooms advertised

How the city's advertised supply splits by bedroom count. A market weighted towards studios and one-bedroom homes will always report a lower headline rent than one built around family housing, without being any cheaper per square metre.

1 bedroom: 31%
2 bedrooms: 19%
3 bedrooms: 29%
4 or more bedrooms: 21%

Property types advertised

The share of apartments, houses, rooms and studios in what landlords and agents advertise. Room-heavy cities are usually student markets, and their medians should never be read as the cost of renting a whole home.

Apartment: 60%
House: 10%
Room: 24%
Studio: 5%

Furnishing on offer

Furnished, upholstered and shell listings ask very different rents for the same floor area. In cities with a large international or relocation segment this split explains more of the headline figure than location does.

Furnished: 55%
Upholstered: 24%
Shell: 20%
