These are solid, well-maintained houses with gardens, attracting families and movers seeking space without the hustle and bustle of a city centre.

The age profile confirms this picture. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, but there are also relatively many families with children.

Is an owner-occupied home in Meerwede Noordwest right for you?

Meerwede Noordwest is most suitable for families and movers looking for space, peace and a good connection to Rotterdam. The homes are on average large (140 m²) and prices are above the urban average, so first-time buyers will find it difficult to find their first home here, unless they look at the lower end of the market (from around €370,000).
