Strijen Woonkern, Hoeksche Waard
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Kerkstraat 40A sits in the heart of Strijen, a village with a quiet, self-contained character. Built in 1700, it's one of the oldest homes in the area, a real piece of history. At €350,000, the asking price is 46% below the neighbourhood average of €653,167, which makes it a keen entry point compared to other apartments in Hoeksche Waard.
The neighbourhood Strijen Woonkern has around 7,000 residents and a mix of owner-occupied and rental homes. Two residents have shared their experiences. One 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. 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." Another resident describes it as "very 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...!" The neighbourhood is mostly families and older residents, with a low urbanity score, it's a quiet, spacious setting.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and Lidl is just around the corner. Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: CBS De Parel and OBS De Meerwaarde. The municipality Hoeksche Waard offers a restaurant and a library, so most daily needs are covered without a car. The nearest train station is 14.4 km away, so you'll rely on a bike or car for longer trips.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Makelaardij De Jong B.V., Funda, Vastgoed Nederland and Huispedia. The agent has published full details including the floor area, year of construction and energy label.

About Kerkstraat 40A, Strijen
The asking price of €350,000 is 46% 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 (64 m² vs 158 m²) and has an energy label G, which means higher heating costs. Compared to similar-sized homes in the area, the price per m² is about €5,469, which is above the neighbourhood average of €4,119 per m². So while the total price is low, the price per square metre is on the high side.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, indicating poor energy efficiency. The home, built in 1700, likely has little to no insulation and old windows. You can expect high heating bills, especially in winter. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label A, 50% have label B, and 25% have label D or lower, so this home is among the least efficient. Renovation could improve the label and reduce costs.
Residents describe Strijen Woonkern as a quiet neighbourhood suitable for families. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk, and the area has a mix of owner-occupied and rental homes. One resident notes that the neighbourhood is gradually improving as rental homes are sold to owner-occupiers. However, there is a dangerous road with speeding cars, and litter from torn green bags can be an issue.
Albert Heijn is just 83 metres away and Lidl is 142 metres, both within a couple of minutes' walk. For other supermarkets, Jumbo is 5.8 km away. There are restaurants at 0.6 km and a library at 1 km. The nearest train station is 14.4 km away, so public transport connections are limited.
The apartment was built in 1700, making it one of the oldest properties in the neighbourhood. The listing does not mention any renovations, so you should expect an older interior and structure. The energy label G also suggests that modernisation is needed. In the neighbourhood, 23.5% of homes were built before 1945, so this is not unusual for the area.
The asking price per m² is about €5,469 (€350,000 / 64 m²). The average for sold homes in the neighbourhood is €4,119 per m², so this apartment is priced higher per square metre. However, the total price is lower because the home is much smaller than average (64 m² vs 158 m²).
