Hoveniersplein - Griend, Zwijndrecht
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor flat on Burgemeester Jansenlaan sits in a busy part of Zwijndrecht, where the pavement is never quiet. At 65 m² it's a compact home, and with an energy label D you can expect reasonable but not rock-bottom heating bills. The asking price of €225,000 is keen compared to other apartments in Zwijndrecht, which tend to be pricier per square metre.
The neighbourhood is densely built-up and very urban, with over 2600 addresses per km². It's home to around 500 people, many of them in one-person households. One resident describes it as a "deteriorated neighbourhood", mentioning issues with schoolchildren causing nuisance and making the area feel unsafe. The same review does note that the train station is central and travel is quick. Based on this single review, it's a mixed picture.
For daily shopping, MCD is literally on your doorstep, you can pop out in your slippers. Aldi is just around the corner, and Jumbo and Albert Heijn are a ten-minute walk away. Schools are close too: LOKET Walburg College and LOKET DevelsteinCollege are a couple of streets away, and primary school De Dolfijn is a five-minute walk. The municipality Zwijndrecht keeps the area well served.

Schoolchildren make the whole neighbourhood dirty, stab each other with knives, walk around shopping centres during school hours and harass people who want to go about their own business. I am a racist and most of the schoolchildren and young people who do that are either Somalis, Moroccans or Syrians. As for schools, there are a few that keep it tidy, but more the public ones with all those foreign schoolchildren make the neighbourhood unsafe, dirty and uninhabitable. The train station is central and you can travel quickly. What could be improved: keep the schoolchildren in school during school hours; if they don't come, then don't come, but don't give them another chance. In terms of safety, more cameras and more police on the street.

About Burgemeester Jansenlaan 61, Zwijndrecht
At 65 m² and with label D, the price works out to about €3,462 per m². That's on the low side for an apartment in Zwijndrecht, where the average tends to be higher. So it's a keen price, though the neighbourhood reviews suggest you'd want to see the flat and the street in person.
The energy label is D. That's average for a flat from 1961, not super efficient, but not a money pit either. You'll have moderate heating costs, but nothing extreme. If you're looking to improve it, that's something to consider down the line.
Zwijndrecht train station is 1.1 km away, which is about a 13-minute walk. That's handy for commuting to Dordrecht, Rotterdam or further afield.
MCD is just 27 metres away, literally next door. Aldi is 407 metres (a five-minute walk), and Jumbo and Albert Heijn are both under 800 metres, so about a ten-minute walk. You've got plenty of choice.
There are several schools within walking distance. LOKET Walburg College and LOKET DevelsteinCollege are both 131 metres away. Primary school De Dolfijn is 226 metres, and there's also a practical school, De Sprong, at 259 metres. Good for families with school-age children.
The CBS records 15 total crimes in the area, which is low. However, the one resident review on describes the neighbourhood as deteriorated, with schoolchildren causing nuisance and making it feel unsafe. It's a mixed picture, so it's worth visiting at different times of day.
