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.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery self-contained, all of it. Almost shy... but when there's something to complain about, we stand our ground. Closed culture. But... what goes around comes around! Your own attitude is very important! Invest and try to break through that Strijense bubble...!

About Kerkstraat 3, Strijen
The asking price of €550,000 is 16% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€653,167) and close to the median of €585,000. Given the 95 m² floor area, the price per m² is about €5,789, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,119 per m². So it's priced keenly overall, but the smaller size means a higher per-square-metre cost.
The home has energy label D. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label A, 50% have label B, and 25% have label D or lower. So this home is on the lower end of efficiency, meaning you can expect higher energy costs compared to a more modern property.
The nearest train station is 14.4 km away. This is quite a distance, so a car or bus is essential for rail travel. The neighbourhood has a low urban density (798 addresses per km²), reflecting its rural character.
