In the northwest of Kralingen, Nieuw-Crooswijk is an up-and-coming neighbourhood. Until the middle of the 19th century it was an empty polder, after which the well-to-do citizens started to build their stately homes here. Today, Nieuw-Crooswijk is a lively district with a great diversity in age and origin. Because of the restructuring, there are many new houses to be found here.
