Overall, it's a quiet neighbourhood. There is a dangerous road nearby where many cars drive too fast and accidents often happen. The houses are now divided between owner-occupied and rental. But all rental houses that become vacant are sold. As a result, you can see the neighbourhood gradually improving because people with owner-occupied homes put more time and energy into it. 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...!

About Kerkstraat 10, Strijen
The asking price is 22% above the average asking price in Strijen Woonkern (€653,167). However, this is a semi-detached house with a large plot, while the neighbourhood average includes many smaller homes. The price per m² is not directly comparable because of the plot size. Given the limited supply of this property type in the area, the price is on the high side but reflects the unique combination of a compact house with a spacious garden.
The home has energy label D. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label D or lower, while 75% have label B or better. Label D means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern home. It may be worth considering energy-saving improvements, but the exact costs depend on usage and future energy prices.
Residents describe Strijen Woonkern as a fine neighbourhood for families with children. There are two primary schools within walking distance, and the streets are quiet. The neighbourhood has a mix of families and older residents, and the local culture is described as self-contained. Some residents note that litter from torn green bags can be an issue, but overall it is a peaceful area with space for children to play.
Albert Heijn is just 43 metres away, and Lidl is 150 metres, both within a minute's walk. A restaurant and the library are also within walking distance. For secondary education, the nearest school is 9.5 km away, so a longer commute is needed. The nearest train station is 14.4 km, making a car essential for public transport connections.
The house was built in 1918, so it is over a century old. The energy label D suggests that some modernisation may have been done, but older homes often require maintenance.
The plot is 505 m², which is very generous for a semi-detached house. The listing does not specify whether the garden is landscaped, but the size offers plenty of outdoor space.
