Havenkwartier, Barendrecht
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Van Hobokenhaven 15 sits in a quiet corner of Havenkwartier, a neighbourhood that feels more like a village than a suburb. With 247 m² of living space and a 370 m² plot, it's a proper family home. The price of €1,250,000 is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Barendrecht, but the size and energy label A help justify it.
Havenkwartier has 1,625 residents, with a mix of families and older households. 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." They add that the tram, bus, shopping centre and nature area are all within walking distance. The municipality Barendrecht has a moderate urban density, so you get amenities without the city buzz.
For groceries, Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both just around the corner, about a five-minute walk. The nearest primary school, Openbare Basisschool De Zeppelin, is a couple of streets away, and Christelijke Basisschool Smitshoek is a ten-minute walk. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and a park is just around the corner for weekend strolls.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Waltmann Makelaars Zwijndrecht.

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.
