It used to be much greener, but unfortunately everything is being built up and recently construction has started on the football field and grass field (apartment-like houses), which makes the neighbourhood less pleasant and it's getting busier. Otherwise, nice houses and a fine district! Good public transport connections, but unfortunately the 143 no longer runs. Good education in the area for secondary and primary schools, plenty of choice. Not a lot of contact with others, but nice neighbours and people always say hello. It's clean, but there should be specific dog waste bins with bags provided. It's a safe neighbourhood (social housing will be available soon, so I don't know how that will be in the future). And the Vlietplein, as well as Ridderkerk centre, is very close. So plenty of shopping options. Also a supermarket within walking distance. There's also a gym very close by, which is really great!

About Westerdijkstraat 14, Ridderkerk
The asking price of €989,000 is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Ridderkerk. However, this home is a modern build from 2021 with an A+++ energy label, which adds value. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of owner-occupied homes and is well-regarded for its amenities. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the energy efficiency and modern finish.
The home has an energy label of A+++, which is the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. It likely includes features like high-quality insulation, a heat pump, and solar panels. You can expect minimal energy bills compared to older homes.
The nearest train station is 7.4 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need to drive or take a bus to reach it.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. Christelijke Basisschool de Bongerd is just around the corner (274 m), and Openbare Basisschool De Botter is about a five-minute walk (527 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 2.5 km away, so a bike or car ride is needed.
The nearest supermarket is PLUS, just 467 m away, a five-minute walk. Lidl and Dirk are also within a ten-minute walk. For a wider selection, Jumbo and Boon's Markt are about 800 m away. So daily grocery shopping is very convenient.
According to the one resident review, Het Zand is considered a safe neighbourhood. The total number of crimes reported in the area is 55, which is relatively low for a neighbourhood of this size. The resident also mentioned that social housing will be added soon, but they are unsure how that will affect safety.
The neighbourhood has a park just 0.2 km away, so green space is on your doorstep. However, one resident noted that the area used to be greener and is becoming more built up, with new apartment-like houses being added. So while there is still greenery, it's not as abundant as before.
The plot size is 490 m², which is generous for a detached house. The listing does not explicitly mention a garden, but given the plot size and the property type, it is very likely there is a private garden.
