Burgen, Nieuwegein
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Zwaardenburg sits in a quiet part of Burgen, a neighbourhood in Nieuwegein where the streets are lined with homes from the 1970s and 1980s. With 134 m² of living space and a 106 m² plot, it is noticeably larger than the average home in the area. The energy label B means it is reasonably efficient. At €490,000, it is the most expensive of the eight homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 29% above the local average, so the price is on the high side, but you are paying for extra space. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Nieuwegein typically sell for less per square metre.
Burgen is a neighbourhood with around 2,920 residents, where one in three homes is a single-family house and 43% are owner-occupied. It is a densely built area (over 2,700 addresses per km²), so it feels urban. One resident describes it as a place where "people know each other and are not averse to offering help," adding that "different cultures come together and there are often activities in the vicinity." That sense of community is a real plus, even if the streets can sometimes feel a bit messy. The neighbourhood Burgen has a mix of ages, with a fair number of young adults and older residents.
For your daily shopping, you have a Lidl just around the corner and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away, both within a five-minute walk. There are also several primary schools nearby: Lucas Batau and De Veldrakker are both about a five-minute walk, and the special school De Evenaar is similarly close. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, perfect for a quick stroll. The municipality Nieuwegein offers further amenities, though secondary schools and the train station are a bit further out.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Home in Holland Makelaars B.V. and Funda. The asking price is €490,000.
