Living in Fascinatio-oost, Capelle aan den IJssel
Fascinatio-oost is a relatively young residential neighbourhood that was largely developed in the early 2000s as part of the Fascinatio area, near the business zone Rivium. The neighbourhood has a recognisable new-build character: straight streets, spacious plots, many semi-detached and terraced houses with gardens, and the occasional apartment complex. It is not a neighbourhood with a historic centre or a village square, but that is not what most residents are looking for here either. They come for space, tranquillity and a good location relative to Rotterdam and the rest of the Randstad.
The population is active and family-oriented. With 445 residents in the 25 to 45 age group as the largest group, and 265 households with children, this is clearly a neighbourhood where young families feel at home. The labour participation rate of 73% and the average income of €47,400 per year are noticeably higher than the municipal average of €37,400. That says something about the profile of the neighbourhood: dual-income earners, higher educated (42% highly educated), and people who consciously choose a quiet living environment with good connections.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is functionally laid out. Primary schools are within cycling distance, and for daily shopping you can go to the nearby Fascinatio shopping centre or the supermarkets along the Fascinatioboulevard. For a wider range, you can drive to the larger Koperwiek shopping centre in Capelle in a few minutes. Green spaces are present in the form of playgrounds and parks scattered throughout the neighbourhood, but if you are looking for extensive nature, you have to drive a bit further.
Accessibility is one of the strongest assets of Fascinatio-oost. Via the A16 and the connection to the A20, you are quickly on the motorway. With the metro (lines D and E, station Capelse Brug or Slinge on the Rotterdam side), Rotterdam Central can be reached in about 15 minutes. Bus connections to the centre of Capelle and Rotterdam are available, although most residents prefer the car or bicycle for daily use.
Residents of Fascinatio-oost are generally positive about the tranquillity and location. One resident writes: "Nice living here, quiet streets, good neighbours and you are quickly on the motorway or in Rotterdam. Not much to do in the neighbourhood itself, but that is not necessary for us." The latter is a recurring theme: the neighbourhood lacks vibrancy and a café scene, but that is precisely what attracts many families here. Compared to Fascinatio-west, Fascinatio-oost is slightly more compact and more focused on family homes. Capelsebrug and Rijckevorselpark are nearby neighbourhoods with a partly different housing supply, worth comparing if you want to buy in this corner of Capelle.
Is a home in Fascinatio-oost right for you as a buyer?
Fascinatio-oost is most suitable for families with children and dual-income earners who are looking for space, want a modern home and value a quick connection to Rotterdam. First-time buyers will find the entry price of at least around €349,000 a barrier, and the supply is limited enough that you need to act quickly when something becomes available. Overbidding is not uncommon in this market. Seniors will find less specifically targeted supply here, unless they opt for an apartment.
