Centrum, Ridderkerk
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Jan Steenstraat sits right in the centre of Ridderkerk, with the Albert Heijn just around the corner. The building dates from 1955 but has an A++ energy label, so it's well insulated and efficient. At €2,100 a month, the rent is on the high side compared to other apartments in Ridderkerk, but the location and energy performance help explain the premium.
Centrum is a lively area with a dense urban feel, over 2,300 addresses per square kilometre. Based on three reviews, opinions vary. One resident calls it "Boring and quiet", noting "lots of orthodox Christians" and loitering youths. Another, after 41 years, is frustrated with hygiene in the communal areas. A third simply says "Good neighbourhood". The area has a mix of ages, with many 25-45 year olds and a fair share of families. The municipality Ridderkerk covers the whole town.
For groceries, the Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Dirk is a couple of streets away. Primary schools are close: Rehobothschool is a five-minute walk, and Openbare Basisschool De Piramide is about ten minutes away. For secondary education, Máximacollege is also within walking distance. A restaurant and a park are both just around the corner, so you won't have to go far for a bite or some green space.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via HS Makelaars.

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………
