Rental prices and market figures for Oud-Beijerland Oosterse Gorzenwijk, Hoeksche Waard
The Oosterse Gorzenwijk is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 66% of the 818 homes are owned, while 34% are rented out. Of that rental share, by far the largest part is held by a housing association, namely 32% of the total housing stock. Only 2% falls under other landlords, meaning that the private sector supply here is limited. In the past twelve months, one home was rented out in the private sector (excluding social housing) for a rent of €1,995 per month. That is considerably higher than you would expect based on the neighbourhood demographics, but the low transaction volume makes this figure hardly representative. The average WOZ value in the Oosterse Gorzenwijk is €280,000, which is noticeably lower than the average for the district Oud-Beijerland (€365,000) and the municipality of Hoeksche Waard as a whole (€360,000). That lower WOZ value reflects the character of the neighbourhood: more housing association homes, more modest housing types.

Living in Oud-Beijerland Oosterse Gorzenwijk, Hoeksche Waard
The Oosterse Gorzenwijk is a quiet, predominantly post-war residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of Oud-Beijerland. The neighbourhood consists largely of terraced houses and porch flats from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by some single-family homes. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but rather for its everyday, stable character. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (495 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (475). That tells you something about the atmosphere: it is calm, neighbours know each other, and relatively many people have lived there for a long time. A resident who has lived in the neighbourhood for fifty years describes it simply but tellingly: "We have lived here for 50 years this year. And we like it." Another resident is equally satisfied, though she adds one caveat: the weeds that are not removed in time. That kind of honest comment actually says something positive too: the major annoyances here are small.
Facilities in the Oosterse Gorzenwijk
For daily shopping you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. The centre of Oud-Beijerland, with supermarkets, shops and catering, is within cycling distance.

Sports clubs and recreational opportunities can be found in and around the core of Oud-Beijerland. The score for facilities in the resident reviews comes out at 6.5, which is the lowest sub-score but also the most subjective: those used to a large urban offering will experience this as limited.
