Living in Bergenbuurt, Capelle aan den IJssel

Bergenbuurt is a quiet, green residential area that has its roots in the large-scale expansion of Capelle aan den IJssel in the 1970s. The streets are named after mountains and mountainous regions, which already hints at the character of the neighbourhood: it is an area designed for people who simply want to live well, without frills. Wide pavements, front gardens, plenty of greenery between the homes and a calm traffic environment define the picture. It is not a trendy city neighbourhood, but that is not what residents are looking for when they buy a home here.

The homes are largely terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the period 1970-1985. Many houses have a back garden and a garage or storage shed. Construction quality varies, and anyone seriously considering buying a home in Bergenbuurt would do well to include a structural survey, especially for older homes where insulation and installations can sometimes be dated. The energy consumption figures confirm this: the average gas consumption of 790 m³ per year is relatively low, but the electricity consumption of 2,320 kWh points to homes that have been modernised to varying degrees.
