Buying a home in Kinderdijk, Alblasserdam.
You're moving into a neighborhood where families have chosen to stay, not just landed by accident. Most homes date from the 1970s and 80s, well-kept, with plenty of greenery around them. You're close enough to Rotterdam for work, but far enough away to have your own space. The Kinderdijk with its windmills is literally on your doorstep, which means your neighborhood doesn't suddenly fill with tourists.
