Living in Bloemenbuurt-oost, Capelle aan den IJssel
Bloemenbuurt-oost is a compact, quiet residential neighbourhood in the Schenkel district. The neighbourhood owes its name to the streets with flower names that run through it and has a typical post-war character: porch flats and terraced houses from the 1960s and 1970s dominate the streetscape. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural highlights, but rather for a certain stability. Many residents have lived there for years, the average age group is 45 to 65 years old, and the proportion of families with children is relatively large. This gives the neighbourhood a friendly, somewhat subdued atmosphere.
The average income in Bloemenbuurt-oost is €28,800 per year, which is noticeably lower than the municipal average of €37,400.
