NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Schenkeldijk in Strijen has a modest floor area of 61 m² but sits on a generous 397 m² plot.

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.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery 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...!

About Schenkeldijk 2, 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 home is much smaller than average (61 m² vs 158 m²) and has an F energy label. Compared to recent sales in the neighbourhood (average €475,200), the price seems keen, especially given the large plot.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label A, 50% have label B, and 25% have label D or lower. An F label means you can expect high heating costs. It is worth checking the insulation and heating system before buying.
The plot is 397 m², which is generous for a home of this size. The listing does not specify a garden, but the plot size suggests outdoor space. You could potentially extend the house (subject to planning permission) or create a large garden.
Strijen Woonkern is a quiet, family-oriented neighbourhood with a mix of owner-occupied and rental homes. Residents mention it is slowly improving as more homes become owner-occupied. There is a dangerous road nearby where cars speed, and litter from torn green bags can be an issue. Overall, it is peaceful and spacious.
The nearest train station is 14.4 km away, so this home is not ideal for daily commuting by train. You would likely rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
Yes, two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: OBS De Meerwaarde (232 m) and CBS De Parel (264 m). Secondary education is further away at 9.5 km, so older children may need to travel.
Albert Heijn is 237 m away and Lidl is 362 m away, both within easy walking distance. For a larger selection, Jumbo is about 6 km away.
