Living in Amerikaansebuurt, Capelle aan den IJssel
De Amerikaansebuurt is a quiet, largely residential neighbourhood in the northern part of Capelle aan den IJssel, part of the Oostgaarde Noord district. The neighbourhood has a predominantly post-war character with terraced houses and smaller single-family homes from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a few apartment complexes. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its liveliness or urbanity, but rather for its quiet, orderly character.

The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds (105 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (100 people). This gives the neighbourhood a somewhat older profile, although families with children also live here: households with children form the largest household group.
