Living in Ouddorp buitengebied, Goeree-Overflakkee

Ouddorp buitengebied is exactly what its name promises: the open, green rural area around the village of Ouddorp on Goeree-Overflakkee. Here you do not live on a street with terraced houses, but in a rural area with scattered buildings, agricultural plots, dykes and polders. The homes are predominantly detached houses and farmhouses, often on spacious plots. There is hardly any new construction; the character is rural and traditional.

Resident Daniël describes it aptly: "Always nice and quiet without nagging neighbours." That matches the figures: 93% of homes are owner-occupied, the population density is low, and the largest age group is 45 to 65 years. This is not a neighbourhood for those seeking hustle and bustle, but for those who value peace and space.
