What does Snijdelwijk offer?
Boskoop puts you in the middle of nurseries and market gardens that shape the whole landscape. Most homes here are detached or semi-detached with space around them, and you'll find plenty of 1930s and 1950s houses. It's a place for people who want green space and room to breathe, not squeezed-in living. Amsterdam and Utrecht are well connected by train, so you're not cut off from the cities, but you feel genuinely outside them.
