Living in Dichtersbuurt, Capelle aan den IJssel

The name already hints at the atmosphere: streets in Dichtersbuurt are named after Dutch poets and writers, giving the neighbourhood a literary charm that you encounter in few other Capelle neighbourhoods. It is a quiet, green residential area consisting mainly of single-family homes from the 1960s and 1970s, mostly terraced houses and semi-detached houses with front and back gardens. The buildings are well laid out and the streets are wide enough for pleasant cycling and walking.

Residents rate the neighbourhood an average of 7.6 out of 10. Notably high scores are for Green (9.0) and Housing (9.0), which matches what you see yourself: plenty of greenery between the homes, well-maintained gardens and a housing stock that is qualitatively strong. The Community score of 8.0 points to a neighbourhood where people know each other. One resident describes it as: "A nice, quiet neighbourhood with lots of greenery and friendly neighbours, you quickly feel at home here." The Accessibility score (6.0) is the lowest sub-score, which honestly makes sense: the neighbourhood is easily accessible by car via the A20 and A16, but public transport is less strong.
