Living in Oud Krimpen, Krimpen aan den IJssel

Oud Krimpen is the historic core of Krimpen aan den IJssel, directly on the Hollandsche IJssel. The neighbourhood has a distinct character that differs from the newer districts in the municipality: you will find older buildings, narrower streets, and a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and sometimes detached properties with views of the water. The construction period ranges from the early twentieth century to post-war expansions, making the architecture varied and sometimes unexpected.

The location along the IJssel is one of the neighbourhood's strongest assets. There is a dike path that invites walking and cycling, and the open landscape on the river side gives the neighbourhood an airiness that you miss in the new-build districts. Residents give green space and accessibility each a perfect score of 10 in the resident rating, and for good reason: the neighbourhood borders the countryside and is also well-connected.

The Kooiplein shopping centre offers a wide range of shops and services. Primary schools are available in the immediate vicinity, and residents rate the education provision at 8.0. Sports clubs in Krimpen aan den IJssel are easily accessible, and the location on the water makes rowing and water sports possible.

Yet there are also critical voices. Resident Lennard describes the neighbourhood as "beautiful but neglected" and gives it a 7.8. He writes: "It is a neighbourhood with many people, many people also cycle past and leave a lot of litter behind. The patch of grass on my street is no longer grass but a bush of shrubs that damage the cars and everyone drives too fast in my neighbourhood." The cleanliness score of 2.0 out of 10 is remarkably low and indicates deferred maintenance of public spaces. That is something to consider if you are thinking of buying a home here.
