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%). It is a very urban area (address density 2920 per km²), yet it feels spacious because of the many green strips and low-rise blocks. 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.

Auto-translated to English by AILovely neighbourhood, have been living here for 16.5 years and it's absolutely fine. Very good neighbourhood. And plenty of nature and amenities.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, neat neighbourhood. There is a lot of greenery in the area, everything is well maintained. There is a neighbourhood library, cafés, shops. There is neighbourhood watch, which keeps watch a few times a month. There are plenty of activities in the area (Wateringen) for young and old, also free activities. There are buses with stops in the village, as well as trams 17 and 16 within walking distance. Streets are clean, park is also regularly cleaned. There are enough schools in the area (primary education). Sometimes people complain about the morning rush around the schools, but that is also quickly resolved. I enjoy living here!

How residents experience their municipality
Nice easy neighbourhood, everything is available and easy access to the motorway.
Auto-translated to English by AIFew problems here. Only parking on the street is difficult.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is quiet but I do think there should be more enforcement, especially now that it gets dark quickly, that would give me more peace of mind. What could be better is people looking out for each other more.
Auto-translated to English by AIFew problems here. Last armed robbery at the Chinese takeaway was about 10 years ago, I think. And the boss of the kebab shop on the corner of the street was arrested for drug trafficking, also years ago. They are doing a major renovation on a building two houses down from me. I'm curious what will go in there.
Auto-translated to English by AIDecent neighbourhood with nice playgrounds. Parks are poorly maintained and very monotonous in terms of planting. There is quite a lot of litter in the area and apart from two primary schools, there are hardly any facilities nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIHere people still greet you on the street. You feel seen here. The nature is beautiful with lots of greenery and water. This is an excellent location for a growing family with excellent amenities.
Auto-translated to English by AII have good contact with my direct neighbours. Apart from that, all nice people.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are many children in the neighbourhood and if you have children yourself it's a nice area for that. Young people don't really socialise with each other. The houses are nice and there's a park nearby, a 5-minute walk away, which is also chill. Living by the water is beautiful, especially if you have a boat.
