Havenkwartier, Barendrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Van Beuningenhaven sits in a quiet corner of Havenkwartier, a neighbourhood that feels more like a village than a suburb. With 128 m² of living space, it's generously sized for a rental home. The energy label A+ means it's very efficient, so heating costs should be low. At €1,700 per month, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a home of this size and quality in Barendrecht. For context, you can compare it with other apartments in Barendrecht.
Havenkwartier has 1,625 residents and a mix of families and older households. The only review available gives it a 7.25 out of 10. One resident says: "Personally, I think Barendrecht is a really nice place to live. I live in a beautiful neighbourhood, but unfortunately it's quite racist and we are very much excluded. Apart from the people, it's perfect. The tram and bus are within walking distance, the shopping centre is a 3-minute walk away, and a large nature area is also very close." So while the area has its charms, social inclusion seems to be an issue. The neighbourhood has a moderate urban feel, with 1,459 addresses per km². For more on the area, see the municipality Barendrecht.
For groceries, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner and a Jumbo equally close. Both are perfect for a quick shop. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Openbare Basisschool De Zeppelin is a couple of streets away, and De Trinoom is about a ten-minute walk. For secondary education, you'd need to travel a bit further, the nearest is 3 km away. A large nature area is also very close, according to the resident.

Personally, I think Barendrecht is a really nice place to live. I live in a beautiful neighbourhood, but unfortunately it's quite racist and we are very much excluded. Apart from the people, it's perfect. The tram and bus are within walking distance, the shopping centre is a 3-minute walk away, and a large nature area is also very close. As for education, I have to say I had a bad experience. My class was not mixed, and the children were very racist, even the teachers. I was often called a monkey and things like that. And at my other primary school, we had a teacher who deliberately bullied children, shouted, and threw sharpened pencils at them. It's really bizarre that she was allowed to work as a teacher for so long. Because of this, I also completed my secondary school in Rotterdam.
