Living in Buitengebied Noord: space, tranquillity and a distinct character
Buitengebied Noord is not an ordinary residential neighbourhood. With only 215 residents and 82 homes, it is one of the smallest and greenest areas of Barendrecht. Those who live here consciously choose space and distance from the city bustle. The neighbourhood borders forest areas and polder strips, and neighbourhoods such as Kooiwalbos, Sint Clarabos and Vrijenburgbos already indicate in their name what residents find here: green, forest and space. Residents on the neighbourhood page of Buitengebied Noord particularly appreciate the tranquillity and nature right on their doorstep. One resident describes it as: "You really live out here, but Rotterdam is a quarter of an hour away." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited walking distance to daily amenities and the lack of a local shop.
For groceries and daily amenities, residents rely on the centres of Barendrecht, particularly the centre around the Middenbaan, where supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo can be found. Primary schools in the vicinity are located in the adjacent neighbourhoods Noord and Centrum. Sports facilities are available via Sportpark Smitshoek, which also falls within this area as a neighbourhood, see Sportpark Smitshoek. For more information about municipal amenities, the website of the municipality of Barendrecht refers to current services and projects in the area.
Accessibility by car is good: the A29 and A15 are quickly reachable, making Buitengebied Noord attractive for commuters towards Rotterdam, Dordrecht and the Randstad. Barendrecht station is a few minutes' drive away and offers direct connections to Rotterdam Centraal (approximately ten minutes) and Dordrecht. Public transport from the neighbourhood itself is more limited; a car is practically indispensable. Living in Buitengebied Noord therefore requires a conscious choice for that outlying area feeling, with the city as a reachable option rather than a daily backyard.
Who is a home in Buitengebied Noord suitable for?
Families and movers who seek space and are willing to pay for it feel most at home here. The average sale price of over €545,000 makes buying a house in Buitengebied Noord virtually unattainable for first-time buyers without substantial equity or own capital. Also take into account additional costs: transfer tax (2% for homes above the starter exemption), notary costs and any structural survey. Supply is limited and homes sell quickly. Those who want to be more flexible can also look at rental properties in Buitengebied Noord, although that supply is minimal. Also compare the supply in adjacent neighbourhoods such as Binnenland or Oranjewijk for more choice within Barendrecht.
