Havenkwartier, Barendrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Van Ommerenhaven 3 sits in a quiet corner of Havenkwartier, a neighbourhood that feels more like a village than a suburb. With 119 m² of living space and an A energy label, it's both roomy and efficient. The asking price of €549,500 is on the high side compared to other apartments in Barendrecht, but the size and energy performance help explain it.
Havenkwartier has 1,625 residents, mostly families and older couples. One resident sums it up: "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 municipality Barendrecht is working on inclusivity, but the review shows there's work to do. On the plus side, the resident mentions the tram and bus within walking distance, a shopping centre three minutes away, and a large nature area close by.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both just around the corner, literally 95 metres away. School runs are easy too: Openbare Basisschool De Zeppelin is a couple of streets away, and De Trinoom is about a ten-minute walk. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, perfect for an evening stroll.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including At Home Makelaardij. The listing is available on multiple platforms, so you can compare details easily.

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.
