Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel: friendly neighbours, tidy gardens and short lines
On the neighbourhood page of Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel, residents rate the village an 8.4 out of 10. Safety (9.2) and the beauty of the surroundings (9.5) score notably high. This is reflected in the reviews: resident Ywan writes that "everything in the neighbourhood is well organised and kept clean" and that the gardens are usually tidy. Sarah calls the neighbourhood "very cosy" and says that New Year's Eve is celebrated together, that everyone greets and knows each other. Daisy confirms that image: "Very nice people, very helpful and often throw parties."
The village has a clear village character with short lines between neighbours. Accessibility scores an 8.5, although this depends heavily on exactly where you live. Rutger, who has lived there his whole life, mentions the train station as a plus point and says it is easy to travel from there as a student. Daisy, on the other hand, finds her neighbourhood "far from the train and metro, namely a 20-minute walk." That difference is logical: in neighbourhoods like the Kern you are close to Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel station and the shopping centre, while from districts like Esse Hoog or the Zuidplaspolder you have to cycle or walk a bit further.
A point of attention is education: it scores the lowest at 6.7. Sarah explains that there is no school in her neighbourhood and you "have to cycle a bit." Facilities do score an 8.5, partly thanks to the shopping centre which is within five minutes' reach from many neighbourhoods. The green score of 9.0 is justified: with Recreation Park Klein Hitland and the polders around the village, you have plenty of space around you. Sarah also mentions the proximity of sports fields as a big plus. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Zuidplas.

I've been living in Nieuwerkerk for 4 years now. I enjoy walking and buying food at the Reigerhof. What I do notice is that Nieuwerkerk is a place for white people. The white privilege is insane, but as soon as you bring your brown boyfriend to your house, you get stared at a bit strangely as if something shady is going on. Now I am white myself and I do fit in here a bit, but the general inclusivity could use some improvement. Also, the train station is abnormally ugly and the trains always have delays, but hey, that's the fault of the cash-grabbing NS. I would also like to express my appreciation for Hitland. I am very happy with the fact that I have the opportunity to hop on my bike and cycle to a forest for some privacy and nature.

Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice people, very helpful and often throw parties. I think the neighbourhood itself is quite far from the train and metro, namely a 20-minute walk and a 50-minute walk.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur neighbourhood is very cosy, old and new are celebrated together, always hello and good morning and everyone knows each other. There is just no school in this area so you have to cycle a bit, that's why I gave a failing grade. My neighbourhood is very close to the sports fields which is super handy.
