Living in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel: village character with urban convenience
Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel is a village that benefits from its location between Rotterdam and Gouda, without the hustle and bustle of the city. The neighbourhood has over 23,000 residents, the largest group of which is between 45 and 65 years old. Yet there are also nearly 4,000 households with children, which is reflected in the streetscape: playgrounds, sports clubs and schools are spread across the various districts. On the neighbourhood page of Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel, residents rate the village an 8.4 out of 10. Safety (9.2) and the green environment (9.0) score notably high.

That shopping centre, Reigerhof, offers daily groceries at Albert Heijn and Aldi, plus a library and various specialist shops.
In terms of accessibility, the village scores an 8.5. Station Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel is on the Randstadrail line between Rotterdam and Gouda, with a travel time of about ten minutes to Rotterdam Alexander. The A20 and A12 are reachable within minutes, which suits commuters to The Hague or Utrecht well. Resident Rutger, who has lived here his whole life, emphasises the convenience: "As a student, you can easily travel from here." However, Daisy notes that not all neighbourhoods are equally close to the station: "I think the neighbourhood itself is quite far from the train, namely a twenty-minute walk." This applies especially to the neighbourhoods on the outskirts, such as Esse Hoog and the Zuidplaspolder.
Education scores the lowest of all categories with a 6.7. Resident Sarah explains why: "There is no school in this neighbourhood, so you have to cycle a bit." Primary schools such as De Rank and Het Kompas are located in the centre of the village, but from newer neighbourhoods like Zuidplas Kruiden or Zuidplas Velden that is a few minutes by bike. There is no secondary education in the village itself; for that you go to Capelle aan den IJssel or Gouda. For sports, there are plenty of options: football club Nieuwerkerk, tennis park De Hitlandse and various sports parks on the edge of the village. Sarah mentions that her neighbourhood is "very close to the sports fields", which she experiences as a major plus. The municipality of Zuidplas also invests in green spaces and the Hitlandpark offers walking and cycling paths along the water.

I've been living in Nieuwerkerk for 4 years now. I enjoy walking and buying food at the Reigerhof. What I do notice is that Nieuwerkerk is a place for white people. The white privilege is insane, but as soon as you bring your brown boyfriend to your house, you get stared at a bit strangely as if something shady is going on. Now I am white myself and I do fit in here a bit, but the general inclusivity could use some improvement. Also, the train station is abnormally ugly and the trains always have delays, but hey, that's the fault of the cash-grabbing NS. I would also like to express my appreciation for Hitland. I am very happy with the fact that I have the opportunity to hop on my bike and cycle to a forest for some privacy and nature.
Auto-translated to English by AII have lived here my whole life and really like it. As a child you could play well here and now as a student it's easy to travel from. The neighbours are nice and friendly. Fortunately, mostly native Dutch people live in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything in the neighbourhood is well organised and kept clean. The gardens are usually tidy. Within 5 minutes you are at the shopping centre and the station. Schools are also nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice people, very helpful and often throw parties. I think the neighbourhood itself is quite far from the train and metro, namely a 20-minute walk and a 50-minute walk.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur neighbourhood is very cosy, old and new are celebrated together, always hello and good morning and everyone knows each other. There is just no school in this area so you have to cycle a bit, that's why I gave a failing grade. My neighbourhood is very close to the sports fields which is super handy.
