Living in Fascinatio-oost, Capelle aan den IJssel
Fascinatio-oost is a relatively young and quiet residential area on the eastern side of the Rivium quarter in Capelle aan den IJssel. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1990s and early 2000s and consists mainly of ground-floor terraced houses and semi-detached houses, supplemented by a limited number of apartments. The architecture is recognisable as a typical Vinex-style expansion area: wide streets, plenty of greenery in between, and a planned layout. With 1,490 residents, it is a modest neighbourhood that feels like a quiet residential enclave, while at the same time benefiting from the proximity of the business Rivium area and the associated infrastructure.
The largest age group consists of 25- to 45-year-olds (445 residents), and families with children are the most common household type (265 households). This is clearly noticeable in the neighbourhood: many children can be seen on the streets, and the atmosphere is predominantly family-oriented and quiet. The average income of €47,400 and a high level of education (42% highly educated) match the profile of a neighbourhood that attracts dual-income earners and young families who consciously choose Capelle as an affordable alternative to Rotterdam.

Sports clubs can be found in the wider municipality, with Capelle aan den IJssel offering a broad range of football, tennis and swimming options. The neighbourhood itself is quiet and has few restaurants or shops, which some residents find pleasant and others see as a drawback.
