Zuidplas Dalen, Zuidplas
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Valkendaal sits in a calm part of Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel, a town that feels more like a village than a suburb. With 95 m² of living space, it's a comfortable size for a couple or small family. The price of €309,000 is in line with what you'd expect for an apartment of this age and size in the area, especially when you compare it to other apartments in Zuidplas.
The neighbourhood Zuidplas Dalen is a mixed residential area with a bit of everything: about half the homes are terraced houses, the rest are flats. It's a fairly green part of town, with a park just a couple of streets away. One resident describes it as "a place for white people" and notes that "the general inclusivity could use some improvement", but also appreciates the nearby forest Hitland for nature walks. The area has a mix of ages, with many families and older residents, and average incomes are typical for the region. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Zuidplas Dalen.
Your daily errands are easy here. For groceries, you have a Jumbo and an Albert Heijn both just around the corner, and a PLUS a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Openbare basisschool Prins Willem Alexander and Rooms Katholieke Basisschool De Wingerd, both about a five-minute walk. The train station is also a five-minute walk, making it handy for commuting. The municipality Zuidplas keeps the area well-maintained, with good public services.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Makelaar Lagendijk on both Funda and Pararius, so you have a couple of channels to view it.

Good · 1 resident
I've been living in Nieuwerkerk for 4 years now. I enjoy walking and buying food at the Reigerhof. What I do notice is that Nieuwerkerk is a place for white people. The white privilege is insane, but as soon as you bring your brown boyfriend to your house, you get stared at a bit strangely as if something shady is going on. Now I am white myself and I do fit in here a bit, but the general inclusivity could use some improvement. Also, the train station is abnormally ugly and the trains always have delays, but hey, that's the fault of the cash-grabbing NS. I would also like to express my appreciation for Hitland. I am very happy with the fact that I have the opportunity to hop on my bike and cycle to a forest for some privacy and nature.
