Accessibility from Centrum Sassenheim

Sassenheim Station is about a ten-minute walk from the centre and offers a direct Sprinter connection to Leiden (10 minutes) and Schiphol/Amsterdam (approximately 35 minutes). Several Arriva bus lines stop on the Hoofdstraat and connect Sassenheim with Lisse, Voorhout and Noordwijk. By car, you can quickly reach the A44 towards The Hague or Amsterdam via the N208. Parking in the centre is partly regulated: blue zones apply around the Hoofdstraat, but parking is generally free in the surrounding residential streets. This can become busy in the evenings, especially near the older porch flats where parking is limited.

Residents of Centrum particularly appreciate the short distances: everything is close by and it feels like a real village. At the same time, there are critical comments about the liveliness of the Hoofdstraat, where shops have disappeared in recent years. "It's a cosy village, but the shopping street could do with a bit more life," is a frequently heard remark. Check all reviews and neighbourhood data of Centrum for a complete picture. Compared to nearby neighbourhoods such as de Oranjebuurt or de Kasteelbuurt, Centrum is busier and more varied in terms of housing supply, but also more compact. Those looking for more space can also look at Overteylingen, which is greener and more spacious.

Does a rental home in Centrum suit you?

With 565 residents aged 65+ and 495 single-person households, Centrum is a neighbourhood that suits singles and seniors well.
