Living in Kreken van Nibbeland, Nissewaard
Kreken van Nibbeland is a relatively young residential neighbourhood on the edge of Zuidland, on the Voorne-Putten island in the municipality of Nissewaard. The name refers to the creek landscape characteristic of this part of the Hoeksche Waard and Voorne-Putten: low polders, ditches and open sightlines. The neighbourhood consists mainly of spacious detached houses, semi-detached houses and larger terraced houses, largely built from the 1990s to the 2000s. It is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood with little traffic, aimed at families and dual-income households. The building density is low, gardens are generous and the streets are spacious. This also explains the relatively high WOZ values and higher private-sector rents compared to the rest of the municipality.
