Living in Tuinenbuurt, Capelle aan den IJssel

Tuinenbuurt is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the northern part of Capelle aan den IJssel, part of the district Schollevaar Noord. The name says it all: the neighbourhood has a garden-like character, with spacious plots, plenty of greenery between the homes, and a low building density. The vast majority of homes consist of ground-floor single-family houses, mostly semi-detached and detached homes from the 1970s and 1980s. This is reflected in the architectural style: functional, solid, with large gardens and ample parking on private property or on the street.

The population composition matches that picture. Of the 580 residents, the largest group is those aged 65 and over (185 people), followed by the 45-65 age group (155 people). Young families and young adults are relatively underrepresented. Most households are without children, and 53% of residents are married. It is a neighbourhood where people stay for a long time, which benefits peace and social cohesion, but also explains why few homes come onto the market.

In terms of amenities, Tuinenbuurt is well situated. Shopping centre Schollevaar, a short bike ride away, offers a supermarket, pharmacy, and various daily shops. For a larger selection, the centre of Capelle aan den IJssel or nearby Rotterdam is accessible. Primary schools are available in the immediate vicinity, although due to the ageing population, the neighbourhood is less geared towards families with young children than some other neighbourhoods in the municipality.

Accessibility is a strong point. Via the Abram van Rijckevorselweg and the connection to the A20, you are quickly on the motorway towards Rotterdam or Gouda. For public transport, there are bus connections to metro stations Capelsebrug and Schenkel, from where Rotterdam Central can be reached within twenty minutes. By bike, the centre of Capelle aan den IJssel is comfortably reachable via the separate cycle paths along the Hollandsche IJssel.

Residents particularly appreciate Tuinenbuurt for its peace and green appearance. On the neighbourhood main page of Tuinenbuurt you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident describes it as: "It's quiet here without being boring. You know your neighbours, the streets are clean, and you have nature around the corner quickly." Criticisms that come up are the limited range of shops directly in the neighbourhood and the relatively high age of the housing stock, which brings with it deferred maintenance in some properties.

Compared to sister neighbourhoods such as Hoofdweg sector E/F or Hoofdweg sector A, Tuinenbuurt has a quieter and more subdued character, with higher house prices as a logical consequence of the larger homes and more spacious plots.

Is a home for sale in Tuinenbuurt right for you?

Tuinenbuurt mainly appeals to movers and seniors who consciously choose peace, space, and stability. The homes are large, the neighbourhood is quiet, and the social composition is homogeneous. First-time buyers will find it difficult to get a foothold here: with purchase prices between €450,000 and €569,000 and hardly any available supply, buying a house in Tuinenbuurt is financially out of reach for most first-time buyers. Buying an apartment in Tuinenbuurt is also not a realistic option, because they simply do not exist. Those who still want to live in the area but have a lower budget can look at Capelle West en 's Gravenland or Middelwatering West as alternatives. Renting is not a serious option in this neighbourhood, but for completeness: check the supply of rental homes in Tuinenbuurt if you want to keep flexibility.
