Living in De Kapel en omgeving, Voorne aan Zee
De Kapel en omgeving is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood in the heart of Brielle, the historic fortified town on Voorne-Putten. The neighbourhood owes its name to the presence of the Catharijnekerk and the surrounding buildings, some of which date back to the post-war reconstruction period. You will find a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a few porch-access flats from the 1950s and 1960s, interspersed with some newer buildings. The streetscape is green and relatively quiet: no busy through roads, but also no extensive parks right around the corner.
With 1,810 residents, it is a neighbourhood of modest size. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (490 people), and households with children are the most common household type, with 320 units.

The average household income of €35,700 is below the district and municipal average, which fits with the relatively large share of social housing.
