Living in Groenvliet, IJsselstein

Groenvliet is a quiet, predominantly elderly neighbourhood on the edge of IJsselstein. The name says it all: it is a green neighbourhood, with wide streets, many parks and a calm atmosphere that you won't find in every Utrecht suburb. The housing stock mainly consists of post-war porch flats and single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s, supplemented by some newer apartment complexes. This also explains why the neighbourhood has such a strong elderly profile: of the 780 residents, more than half, 415 people, are 65 or older. Young families and starters are clearly in the minority here.
