NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Gleede sits in a calm part of Strijen, where the streets are tidy and the pace is relaxed.

The asking price of €385,000 is 41% below the neighbourhood average of €653,167, which makes it a keen option compared to other homes in the area.

The neighbourhood Strijen Woonkern is a residential area with a mix of owner-occupied and rental homes, though rentals are gradually being sold off. 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. 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 adds: "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...!" Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores 6.87 out of 10. Most homes are single-family (82%) and owner-occupied (68%), and the area has a moderate urban density.
For your morning bread, Lidl is on your doorstep just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools are within walking distance: CBS De Parel is a five-minute walk, and OBS De Meerwaarde is about ten minutes on foot. The municipality Hoeksche Waard offers a mix of rural and suburban living, with Strijen's centre a short stroll away for a restaurant or the library.
At the time of writing the home is listed via MarQuis Makelaars & Taxateurs and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Overall, it's a calm residential area.
