With nearly 48,000 residents, it is a municipality that has grown significantly in recent years, partly due to the development of the Vijfde Dorp plans and its attractive location between Rotterdam, Gouda and Zoetermeer.

The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Zuidplas
Zuidplas has four clearly recognisable village cores, each with its own character and atmosphere. Whether you are looking for a family home in a lively village centre or prefer to live rurally on the edge of the polder, the neighbourhoods differ in terms of amenities, price level and type of homes. Below are the main areas listed.
Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel, the largest core with the most amenities
Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel is by far the largest village core of Zuidplas and has the widest range of shops, schools and sports facilities. The Reigerhof shopping centre forms the heart of the village, and the train station offers a direct connection to Rotterdam and Gouda. Residents on Buurtje.nl give Nieuwerkerk a strong 8.4 as a neighbourhood score, particularly for safety and the green environment. One resident writes: "Nice place to live, everything is close by and yet you don't feel like you're in the city." Here you will find both terraced houses from the 1970s and 1980s and newer semi-detached houses. Prices are often around or slightly above the municipal average.

Moordrecht, village living close to Gouda

The atmosphere is more village-like and intimate than in Nieuwerkerk. Residents rate Moordrecht a 7.8 on Buurtje.nl, with the beauty of the surroundings and safety scoring highly. The housing supply mainly consists of single-family homes and a number of detached houses on the edges of the village.

Zevenhuizen, quiet and green on the Rotte
Zevenhuizen lies on the west side of the municipality, along the Rottemeren recreation area. It is a popular spot for families who love space and nature, with direct access to cycling and walking routes through the Groene Hart. There is a village centre with basic amenities, but for larger shopping or secondary education you rely on Nieuwerkerk or Zoetermeer. Homes on the edge of the village, with views over the polder, are sought after and can be well above the municipal average. Check the page for Zevenhuizen for the current supply.
Moerkapelle, compact village with a close-knit community
Moerkapelle is the smallest core of Zuidplas, in the northwest of the municipality. The village has a strong club life and a close-knit community, something that is reflected in the community score of the municipality. There are primary schools, a supermarket and sports clubs, but the level of amenities is more limited than in Nieuwerkerk. The housing market mainly consists of single-family homes, and the supply is relatively small. This means that homes here sell quickly. View the available homes in Moerkapelle.

A first tip: also look at Moordrecht and Moerkapelle if you want more value for money. Prices per square metre there are often somewhat lower, while you are still within ten minutes of the motorway.
Keep in mind that overbidding in Zuidplas is more the rule than the exception for sought-after homes, especially for terraced houses and semi-detached houses in the segment up to €500,000. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing. Buying an apartment in Zuidplas is less obvious than in surrounding cities, because the supply mainly consists of ground-based homes.
Pay attention to accessibility per neighbourhood: Nieuwerkerk and Moordrecht have a train station, Zevenhuizen and Moerkapelle do not. If you depend on public transport, that makes a difference. Use the neighbourhood scores and reviews on Buurtje.nl to compare how residents experience accessibility, safety and amenities per neighbourhood. Are you considering renting instead?

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 AIThe neighbourhood is welcoming, open and always there for each other. I feel safe here and we solve problems together!
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.
