Zeeheldenbuurt, Waddinxveen
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Brugweg sits on a remarkably large plot of 2,640 m², giving it a rare sense of space and privacy. With 197 m² of living space and an A energy label, it combines generous proportions with efficiency. The asking price of €1,150,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but the size and plot are exceptional. For context, detached houses in Waddinxveen are scarce in this price range.
The Zeeheldenbuurt is a small, established area with 560 residents, mostly aged 45 and over. It's a quiet pocket of Waddinxveen with few young families.

For groceries, you have Albert Heijn just over a kilometre away, with Jumbo and Lidl also within walking distance. The nearest primary school, Basisschool Theo Thijssen, is about a ten-minute walk, and secondary school Coenecoop College is a couple of streets further. The municipality Waddinxveen offers a range of amenities, though the immediate neighbourhood is quiet and car-dependent.

The other side, i.e. the other side of the village that Waddinxveen used to be. Across the bridge... so the other side. No shop, no public transport stop, no park, no school. Now the latter is not necessary in this old little neighbourhood with few young families. There is a playground (association). So a bit of the forgotten side of Waddinxveen.
