Living in Krimpen-Oost, Krimpenerwaard
Krimpen-Oost is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of Krimpen aan de Lek, directly bordering the polder and the River Lek. Its character is distinctly residential: wide streets, detached homes and semi-detached houses with spacious gardens dominate the streetscape. The high average WOZ value of €586,000 reflects this: this is not an entry-level neighbourhood, but an established residential area for people who consciously choose space and tranquillity. The population composition confirms this picture. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (90 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (80 residents). Of the 295 residents, 57% are married and most households are without children. Renting in Krimpen-Oost therefore appeals more to people in their forties, fifties and seniors than to starters or young families.
