Living in Dalenbuurt, Capelle aan den IJssel
Dalenbuurt is located in the southern part of Oostgaarde and has a quiet, green character that clearly differs from the more urban neighbourhoods closer to the centre of Capelle. The streets are predominantly wide, with plenty of greenery in between, and the housing largely dates from the 1970s and 1980s. This means terraced houses and semi-detached houses with gardens, well-maintained and in many cases already considerably renovated or extended by the current residents. They are not spectacular architectural gems, but the homes offer space and tranquillity.
The neighbourhood has nearly 1,900 residents and the largest group is between 25 and 45 years old, which sets the tone: families with children are well represented here. You notice this in the street atmosphere, where children play outside and neighbours know each other. Primary schools are nearby, and for daily shopping you can go to the nearby Koperwiek shopping centre, the largest shopping centre in Capelle aan den IJssel, within cycling distance. For sports and leisure, various clubs are active in the municipality, and the greenery in and around the neighbourhood offers space for walking and cycling.
Accessibility is a clear plus point. By car, the A16 and A20 are quickly reachable, making Rotterdam and the surrounding area easily accessible.
