Centrum, Ridderkerk
NeighbourhoodThis listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. The apartment is priced at €235,000, which is 53% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood, a keen price for a 63 m² home. For context, the average floor area in Centrum is 127 m², so this is a compact option. Compared to other apartments in Ridderkerk, this is one of the more affordable listings.
Centrum is the heart of Ridderkerk, with 4,810 residents and a mix of households, many singles and families with children. The neighbourhood has a strong urban feel (address density 2,368 per km²). Reviews are mixed: one resident calls it "Boring and quiet" and notes "lots of loitering youths", while another gives a 10/10 saying "Good neighbourhood kees". A third review, scoring 6.5, mentions long-term struggles with hygiene in a flat. So it's a neighbourhood with contrasts. For more context, see the municipality of Ridderkerk.
Daily shopping is easy: Aldi and Albert Heijn are both just around the corner, and Dirk and Jumbo are a ten-minute walk. For school runs, Dr. Schaepmanschool is on your doorstep, and Máximacollege is just around the corner. There's also a park within a couple of streets away and a restaurant just around the corner. The train station is 5.3 km away, so you'd need a bike or bus for longer journeys.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Aarnoutse Makelaardij.

Lots of orthodox Christians. I just get stared at when I wear trousers. And in the village itself there are actually a lot of loitering youths and stuff.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeen at it for 41 years trying to keep the hall and stairwell of my flat at least somewhat hygienic, with no cooperation from fellow residents and also not from the housing corporation, now almost 73 and tired of fighting, longing for a solution, so much want to spend the years I have left with living pleasure………

About Dr. Ir. Lelystraat 11, Ridderkerk
The asking price is €235,000, which is 53% below the average asking price in Centrum (€495,512). However, the apartment is also smaller than average (63 m² vs 127 m²). The median sold price in the neighbourhood is €349,500, so this is on the lower end. Given the compact size and the missing energy label, the price seems in line with what you'd expect for a smaller apartment in this area.
Centrum is a densely populated area with a mix of singles and families. Reviews are mixed: one resident describes it as 'Boring and quiet' with loitering youths, while another gives a 10/10.
