Living in Zwanenkamp, Stichtse Vecht
Zwanenkamp is a quiet residential neighbourhood in the heart of Maarssenbroek, the large post-war expansion district of Maarssen. The neighbourhood largely dates from the 1970s and that shows: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, spacious gardens and a layout clearly designed for families with children. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but rather for its everyday solidity. Residents appreciate the peace, space and safety for children.
In terms of amenities, Zwanenkamp is well served. Shopping centre Maarssenbroek, with a Jumbo, various specialist shops and a pharmacy, is within cycling distance. For daily groceries, you hardly need to take the car.
