Living in Burgenbuurt, Capelle aan den IJssel
Burgenbuurt is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southern part of Schollevaar Zuid. Its character is predominantly suburban: spacious single-family homes, well-maintained gardens and wide streets with many trees. The neighbourhood was built in the 1970s and 1980s, which is reflected in the typical terraced houses and detached homes that dominate the streets. It is not a neighbourhood for those seeking dynamism and urban life, but rather for those who value peace and space.
With 1,455 residents and 611 homes, Burgenbuurt is medium-sized. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and families with children are the most common household type. That is clearly noticeable: you see many children on the streets, the neighbourhood feels safe and well-organised. The average income of €38,000 per year is slightly above the municipal average, and 39% of residents have a high level of education.
Facilities in Burgenbuurt
The immediate neighbourhood has limited facilities of its own, but its location within Schollevaar Zuid means that basic necessities are easily accessible. Within cycling distance you will find supermarkets and daily shops in the nearby shopping centre. Primary schools are present in the wider district, which partly explains why so many families live here. For recreation, the neighbourhood is attractive: there is a lot of green space in the immediate vicinity and Schollevaarpark is a short distance away. Residents give the neighbourhood a score of 10 out of 10 for green space, which is visible in practice in the planting along streets and in the parks. The score for facilities is slightly lower at 7 out of 10, indicating that for a wider range of shops or hospitality you need to travel a bit further, for example to the centre of Capelle aan den IJssel.
Accessibility from Burgenbuurt

Leopold Bakker, one of the residents, writes: "A bus runs through the neighbourhood, good connection to train and metro." The neighbourhood is served by a bus line that connects to the wider public transport network of the Rotterdam region. Capelsebrug metro station and Rotterdam Alexander train station are a short journey away, from where you can quickly reach Rotterdam or The Hague.

Parking in this residential area is generally not a problem: there is plenty of space on the street and on private property, without a permit requirement.

Does renting in Burgenbuurt suit you as a tenant?
