What does Voorofschebuurt 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.

Amsterdam and Utrecht are well connected by train, so you're not cut off from the cities, but you feel genuinely outside them.
