Buying a home in Parkzoom, Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel.
Parkzoom is where you'll find modern family homes on quiet streets, a lot newer than what's dotted through the older centre of Nieuwerkerk. Your neighbours here tend to be young professionals and families who chose this neighbourhood specifically for the breathing room and the good schools nearby. The grocery shops and a primary school are within walking distance, and you're ten minutes by car from the A20 if you need to reach Rotterdam or Amsterdam. It's the kind of place where people actually stay.
