Living in Diepenbuurt, Capelle aan den IJssel
Diepenbuurt is a quiet, predominantly post-war residential neighbourhood in the southern part of Capelle aan den IJssel. The neighbourhood largely consists of porch flats and gallery flats built in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a few rows of single-family homes. The streetscape is functional and sober, without big-city allure, but also without the hustle and bustle that comes with it. Residents describe the neighbourhood as quiet and orderly, with a close mix of young families, singles and older tenants. The largest age group consists of 25- to 45-year-olds, and more than a third of households are single-person households. That says something about the character of the neighbourhood: it is not a typical family neighbourhood, but certainly not a student neighbourhood either.
