Beyond the internal storage, residents also have access to an external storage unit measuring 27 square meters. This additional storage space is particularly valuable for apartment living and can accommodate bicycles, garden equipment, or other larger items.

The Kastanje Erf development consists of three small scale apartment buildings, each containing 14 apartments plus one penthouse unit. The buildings are equipped with elevators, ensuring accessibility for all residents regardless of mobility levels. The entire development meets the Woonkeur 4 standards, which is a quality certification for housing that accommodates care needs. This certification indicates that the apartments are designed to be suitable for residents throughout different life stages, making them particularly appealing for those planning for long term residence.

Energy efficiency is a prominent feature of this property. The apartment holds an A+++ energy label, which represents the highest rating in the Dutch energy classification system. This exceptional rating is achieved through several sustainable building features. The property is fully insulated, helping to maintain consistent indoor temperatures while minimizing energy loss. Triple glazing is installed throughout, providing superior thermal performance compared to standard double glazing.

Heating and cooling are provided through an underfloor system, which offers even temperature distribution across the living spaces. The underfloor heating is complemented by floor cooling capabilities, which can provide comfort during warmer months without the need for air conditioning. The heat source is a heat pump system, which extracts heat from the environment rather than burning fossil fuels. A heat recovery system is also installed, capturing warmth from outgoing ventilation air to preheat incoming fresh air, further improving energy efficiency.

Hot water is provided through an electric boiler. Balanced ventilation ensures consistent air quality throughout the apartment without requiring residents to manually open windows for fresh air exchange.

The Zuydpolder development is situated in a location that balances natural surroundings with urban convenience. The Kastanje Erf is designed as a residential island surrounded by water, creating a distinct sense of separation from through traffic and urban noise. Vehicles are parked in central locations away from the living areas, contributing to a peaceful residential atmosphere. Two covered bicycle storage facilities are available for residents.

Direct access to nature is a key characteristic of this location. The 45 hectare nature area called Het Landschap van Zuydpolder is accessible directly from the residential area, offering opportunities for walking and cycling in a natural setting. Across the street lies the Oude Maas recreational area, which includes walking paths along the water, an outdoor fitness trail, and Thermen Barendrecht, a thermal bath facility.

The communal areas of Kastanje Erf include shared gardens, a vegetable garden, and seating areas where residents can interact and enjoy the outdoor environment.
