Living in Kamelenspoor, Stichtse Vecht
Kamelenspoor is one of the residential neighbourhoods within the district of Maarssenbroek, a planned expansion district of Maarssen that grew in the 1970s and 1980s. That is clearly visible in the streets: straight residential streets, front gardens with driveways, many terraced houses and semi-detached houses, occasionally interspersed with an apartment building. It is not a neighbourhood that surprises you with architectural highlights, but neither is it one that disappoints if you are looking for space, tranquillity and a functional living environment.
The atmosphere during the day is friendly and quiet. Resident Sven Maertens describes it aptly: "Kamelenspoor is generally a very nice district to live in, especially during the day. Everyone greets each other politely and respects the norms and values of others in the neighbourhood." He gives the neighbourhood a 6.4 and adds that the evenings are different, with more loitering youth on the streets. That is an honest signal for anyone taking that into account in their decision.

Is a home in Kamelenspoor right for you?

The average selling price of €469,000 makes buying a home in Kamelenspoor difficult for first-time buyers without equity or family capital, especially because the supply is limited (11 sales in a year). Those moving up from another owner-occupied home are better placed here. The income level in the neighbourhood (€30,700 on average) is actually lower than the municipal average, which suggests that some residents have lived in the neighbourhood for longer and benefit from value appreciation.

Kamelenspoor is generally a very nice neighbourhood to live in, especially during the day. Everyone greets each other politely and respects the norms and values of others in the area. This gives a safe and pleasant feeling. Only in the evening everything changes, because a lot of loitering youth come onto the street, causing nuisance in dark spots, making those spots feel unsafe at night. Furthermore, it's a shame that more and more rental houses are appearing in the neighbourhood; this brings different ethnicities, which can sometimes clash a bit, which is of course unfortunate. I would also like to see more nature here, because now there are a few patches of grass and some trees, so a bit more green space would be nice. The housing is fine here, it's just a shame that as soon as you step out the door you can immediately look into someone else's garden or be looked into yourself; you never really have privacy. Otherwise, it's really a nice and cosy neighbourhood.
