Living in Strand en Duin, Rotterdam
Strand en Duin is a neighbourhood you won't easily forget once you've been there. Located at the westernmost tip of Rotterdam, directly bordering the North Sea coast near Hoek van Holland, this neighbourhood has an atmosphere that few other Rotterdam neighbourhoods can match.

Those who live here consciously choose space, fresh air and a relaxed living environment, far from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
The housing stock largely consists of spacious single-family homes and detached houses, partly built in the 1970s and 1980s, with occasional newer projects. The streets are quiet, gardens are present, and cars are parked in front of the door. This attracts families and people in the 45 to 65 age group, who also form the largest group in the neighbourhood. There are relatively many married couples with children (44% married, 460 households with children), which colours the social character of the neighbourhood: it feels safe and stable.
