Pros:
- Direct NS station on the Utrecht–Gouda line; trains to Utrecht Centraal in 12 minutes, Amsterdam in under an hour
- New-build homes with modern insulation and heat pumps; no 1960s rental stock or energy-hungry terraces

- Relatively new estate without established social fabric; many residents are transient young professionals or families in transition
