Living in Uitbreiding Dorp, Krimpenerwaard
Uitbreiding Dorp is exactly what its name suggests: the post-war expansion of the village of Bergambacht. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1960s and 1970s, with terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a limited number of porch flats along the main streets. It is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood with a village character. No city bustle, no large shopping centres, but also no isolated feeling. The neighbourhood borders the historic ribbon of Bergambacht-Dorp, and you notice that: there is cohesion between the neighbourhoods, residents know each other, and the atmosphere is down-to-earth and friendly.
The largest age group in Uitbreiding Dorp is 45 to 65 years old, but there are also relatively many over-65s (730) and families with children (520 households). This gives the neighbourhood a stable, established character. Starters and young families also come here, but the neighbourhood attracts fewer students or expats than a city like Rotterdam or Gouda.

You do your daily shopping in Bergambacht itself, within walking distance of most homes in Uitbreiding Dorp.

Accessibility
Uitbreiding Dorp is located in the Groene Hart, and that means that a car is indispensable for most residents. The connection to the A20 (towards Rotterdam and Gouda) is accessible via provincial roads, but does require some travel time. By car, you are in Rotterdam or Gouda in about 25 to 30 minutes. Public transport is limited: there are bus connections from Bergambacht towards Schoonhoven and Gouda, but the frequency is low and there is no train station in the immediate vicinity. For tenants dependent on public transport, this is a serious point of attention. Cycling, on the other hand, is very possible: the rural cycle network through the polder is extensive and Bergambacht-Dorp is quickly reached by bike.
