Green, quiet and family-oriented: living in Stad van de Zon
Stad van de Zon has a character you won't quickly forget once you've walked around. The neighbourhood was systematically laid out with spacious green strips, playgrounds on your doorstep and a small beach within walking distance. Residents on the neighbourhood page of Stad van de Zon give the area an impressive 8.7 out of 10. The neighbourhood scores maximum marks especially on safety (10.0), greenery (10.0) and education (10.0). Resident Emirhan aptly describes it as a place where you live stress-free: parking is no problem, the primary school is a two-minute walk away and the beach is nearby. A second review from the same resident highlights the green grass field where children play while parents sit on a bench, with views of the water from some homes. That's no coincidence; it's exactly what the neighbourhood was designed for.
Yet there is a nuance that must be honestly mentioned. The score for community spirit, at 4.5, is clearly lower than the rest. Emirhan himself writes that it is not the most social neighbourhood. The area attracts many young families and dual-income households, which ensures a quiet, tidy environment, but not necessarily spontaneous neighbourly contact. Amenities score a 7.5, meaning you have to go elsewhere in the municipality for an extensive range of shops or hospitality. Accessibility is rated well at 9.0, and the beauty of the neighbourhood also scores a 9.0.
Within the neighbourhood, there are two districts each with their own atmosphere. De Overtoom and Park van Luna are part of Stad van de Zon and may differ in supply and character. The average household income in the neighbourhood is €45,200, well above the municipal average of €36,700, reflecting the purchasing power of the average resident. With 1,020 children under 15 and 825 households with children, this is clearly a neighbourhood that attracts families.
Renting in Stad van de Zon: suitable for families, less so for those wanting social housing or urban living

A beautiful neighbourhood where you can easily park inside or outside your garden. There is a playground right outside your door where the children can play, and it's 2 minutes from the beach. The primary school is also 2 minutes from your home, and the neighbourhood is very clean and safe. The only downside is that it's not the most social neighbourhood, so that's the only "letdown" in my opinion. Otherwise, very happy with my neighbourhood and home!
