Living in Hoevenbuurt, Vlaardingen
Hoevenbuurt is located in the Holy Noord district, in the northeast of Vlaardingen. The neighbourhood was built in the 1960s and 1970s and consists largely of terraced houses and porch flats, interspersed with some semi-detached houses. The street names refer to farms and agricultural terms, reflecting the original layout of the district.

That contrast is frankly recognisable for a neighbourhood where 69% of homes are owned by a housing association and the average income of €31,000 is below the municipal average of €35,100.
