Wateringen Noord en Ambachtshof, Westland
NeighbourhoodThis 138 m² apartment on Poortweide sits in a leafy, low-rise part of Wateringen, a village that still feels like a village despite being part of the Westland conurbation. Built in 1998 and with energy label B, it is a well-insulated home that won't break the bank on heating. At €695,000, the price is on the high side compared to other apartments in Westland, but the generous floor area and the quiet location explain that.
The neighbourhood Wateringen Noord en Ambachtshof is a residential area with mostly single-family homes (72%) and a high proportion of owner-occupied properties (84%).

The population is a mix of families and older residents, with an average household size of 2.5. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner. A couple of streets away, at about a kilometre, you'll find Jumbo, Aldi and another Albert Heijn. The nearest primary school, WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla, is a ten-minute walk away. Two other primary schools are within a 15-minute walk. The municipality Westland is known for its greenhouse horticulture, but this part of Wateringen feels more like a residential suburb than a farming village.
