Strijen Woonkern, Hoeksche Waard
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Boompjesstraat in Strijen is a calm, well-insulated home in a village setting. At 95 m² it's compact, but the A+ energy label keeps running costs low, a real plus for a 1927 building. The asking price of €425,000 is 35% below the neighbourhood average of €653,167, which makes it a keen option compared to other apartments in Hoeksche Waard.
The neighbourhood Strijen Woonkern is a quiet area with mostly families and owner-occupied homes. One resident says: "Overall, it's a quiet neighbourhood. There is a dangerous road nearby where many cars drive too fast and accidents often happen. The houses are now divided between owner-occupied and rental. But all rental houses that become vacant are sold. As a result, you can see the neighbourhood gradually improving because people with owner-occupied homes put more time and energy into it." Another adds: "Very self-contained, all of it. Almost shy... but when there's something to complain about, we stand our ground." Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores 6.87 out of 10.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: CBS De Parel and OBS De Meerwaarde. The municipality Hoeksche Waard offers a quiet, green environment with a park a ten-minute walk away.

Overall, it's a quiet neighbourhood. There is a dangerous road nearby where many cars drive too fast and accidents often happen. The houses are now divided between owner-occupied and rental. But all rental houses that become vacant are sold. As a result, you can see the neighbourhood gradually improving because people with owner-occupied homes put more time and energy into it. A fine neighbourhood for a family with children. Downside: the green bags are often torn open, causing a lot of litter to scatter around and not being collected by the council. Hygiene could be better. There should be bins everywhere so that bags of rubbish don't end up on the street.

About Boompjesstraat 2A, Strijen
The asking price is 35% below the average asking price in Strijen Woonkern (€653,167) and also below the median of €585,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (95 m² vs 158 m²). Given the excellent energy label and the quiet neighbourhood, the price appears keen compared to other listings in the area.
The energy label is A+, which is exceptional for a home built in 1927. In the neighbourhood, none of the current for-sale homes have A+; only 25% have A. An A+ label means very low energy costs and a comfortable indoor climate, so you won't face high heating bills.
Albert Heijn is just 93 metres away, so you can walk there in a minute. Lidl is 204 metres away, also within a short stroll. For a wider selection, Jumbo is about 5.8 km away.
Two primary schools are within walking distance: CBS De Parel at 304 metres and OBS De Meerwaarde at 392 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is 9.5 km away, so a bike or car is needed.
The nearest train station is 14.4 km away, so the area is not well connected by rail. A car is practical for commuting.
