Living in Strijen Woonkern: village character with its own dynamic
Strijen Woonkern is the village centre of Strijen, one of the larger cores in the Hoeksche Waard. With around 7,010 residents, it is large enough for a complete range of amenities, but small enough to retain a village feel. The atmosphere is quiet, green and somewhat inward-looking. Resident CvdB describes it aptly: "Very self-contained. Almost shy... but you reap what you sow! Your own attitude is very important!" It is a place where, as a newcomer, you need to invest a bit to fit in, but where you can eventually find your feet.
The housing stock is varied. You will find post-war terraced houses from the 1960s and 1970s around Kerkstraat and Molendijk, newer expansion neighbourhoods to the south and west, and some older characteristic buildings in the centre. Resident Kelly notes that the neighbourhood is "slowly becoming tidier": rental properties that become available are increasingly sold, causing the neighbourhood to gradually improve. This is visible in the mix of renovated and yet-to-be-renovated homes.
In terms of amenities, Strijen Woonkern scores well. There is an Albert Heijn on Voorstraat, an Aldi on the edge of the village, and the shopping centre around Voorstraat offers bakeries, hairdressers and a chemist. For education, there are primary schools such as De Hoeksteen and Het Kompas. Sports club VV Strijen and tennis club LTC Strijen are located on the south side. The Strijensas and the polders around the village offer space for walks and bike rides.
Accessibility receives an 8.0 from residents. By car, via the N217 you are quickly on the A29 towards Rotterdam (about 35 minutes) or Dordrecht (20 minutes). Arriva bus lines connect Strijen with Oud-Beijerland and the Waterbus network at 's-Gravendeel. There is no own train station, but Dordrecht station is the nearest. Note: Kelly warns of a dangerous road nearby "where many cars drive too fast and accidents often happen", presumably the N217. On the neighbourhood page of Strijen Woonkern you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores in detail.

A fine neighbourhood for a family with children. Downside: the green bags are often torn open, causing a lot of litter to scatter around and not being collected by the council. Hygiene could be better. There should be bins everywhere so that bags of rubbish don't end up on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery self-contained, all of it. Almost shy... but when there's something to complain about, we stand our ground. Closed culture. But... what goes around comes around! Your own attitude is very important! Invest and try to break through that Strijense bubble...!
