Making neighbourhood choices transparent, data-driven and human
BeterMove helps people choose where to live — based on how neighbourhoods actually function in daily life, not just how they look on a listing.
Why BeterMove exists
Moving to a new neighbourhood is one of the most impactful decisions people make — especially for families, couples and newcomers to a city. Yet most housing platforms focus almost entirely on properties, not on the neighbourhoods themselves.
Information about schools, family life, housing mix and daily environment exists — but it is scattered across different sources, hard to compare, and often difficult to interpret.
BeterMove brings that information together and turns it into clear, neighbourhood-level insights — so you can decide where to live with confidence, before you move.
- ✔ Designed for families, movers, renters and expats
- ✔ Focused on neighbourhoods, not property listings
- ✔ Objective, comparable insights across areas
- ✔ Built to support real-life decisions
How BeterMove works
Trusted data sources
We rely on official and open datasets, including CBS (demographics, housing, crime), DUO (schools), Onderwijsinspectie (school quality), RIVM (environmental noise), Leefbarometer (liveability), and OpenStreetMap (amenities). No scraped or opaque data.
Neighbourhood-level analysis
Data is cleaned, normalised and aggregated at neighbourhood level, so comparisons are fair, consistent and meaningful.
Clear, human-readable insights
Complex datasets are translated into scores, labels and explanations — without hiding the underlying details.
Our principles
Transparency
We clearly show where data comes from, how scores are built and what their limitations are.
Independence
BeterMove is not a real estate platform. We don't promote listings or neighbourhoods — we inform.
Local relevance
Built specifically for the Netherlands, using Dutch datasets and official neighbourhood definitions.
Continuous improvement
New indicators, better scoring models and deeper insights are actively being developed.
What's included
Population, age distribution, household types, housing stock and price trends
Primary school access, Onderwijsinspectie quality ratings, and proximity analysis
Travel times to major cities and Schiphol via public transport and car
