Residents describe the neighbourhood Strijen Woonkern as a quiet area that is gradually getting tidier. One resident 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." Another notes: "Very self-contained, all of it. Almost shy... but when there's something to complain about, we stand our ground." The neighbourhood has a mix of families and older residents, with many owner-occupied homes.
For your daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Lidl is a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: CBS De Parel and OBS De Meerwaarde. The municipality Hoeksche Waard offers a rural setting with essential amenities close by.

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.

About Schoolstraat 1A, Strijen
The asking price of €696,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €653,167 and the median of €585,000. However, this apartment is larger than many in the area, and the price per m² (€5,898) is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,119. Given the size and location, the price is on the high side but reflects the property's qualities.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as newer homes with label A or B. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label A and 50% have label B, so this home is slightly less efficient than many nearby.
The nearest train station is 14.4 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by train. You would rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
Based on two reviews, residents describe the neighbourhood as quiet and improving. One says it's a fine area for families, though there is some litter from torn green bags. Another mentions a closed culture but notes that your own attitude matters. Overall, it's a peaceful area with a mix of owner-occupied and rental homes.
Yes, there are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: CBS De Parel (333 m) and OBS De Meerwaarde (424 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 9.5 km away, so older children would need to travel further.
