Living in Gaasperwaard, Vijfheerenlanden
Gaasperwaard is part of the Vianen bedrijventerrein district in the municipality of Vijfheerenlanden. The name already says something about the character of this area: it is a neighbourhood that borders on or is part of an industrial estate, located in the river area between the Lek and the Hollandsche IJssel. With a registered population of virtually zero and only one home in the housing stock, Gaasperwaard as a residential neighbourhood is extremely small-scale, almost invisible on the map of regular rental markets. Yet homes are rented out, and the rental prices are high.
The character of the neighbourhood is strongly determined by the proximity of business activity and the open, green polder structure that is characteristic of this part of Vijfheerenlanden. Homes here are generally detached or situated as spacious houses on a business plot, which explains the high average rental price and the wide price range. It is not a typical residential area with a village centre, playground or shopping street around the corner.
Facilities in and around Gaasperwaard
Gaasperwaard itself does not have its own facilities such as supermarkets, schools or sports facilities. For daily shopping, residents rely on the centre of Vianen, a few kilometres away, where an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo can be found. Primary schools and secondary education are also located in Vianen. Sports facilities, such as swimming pool De Hoge Woerd and various sports clubs, are also located in the town centre. The area does offer space for recreation in nature: the floodplains along the Lek and the Everdingen Recreation Area are a short bike ride away.
Accessibility of Gaasperwaard
By car, Gaasperwaard is easily accessible via the A2 (exit Vianen), which provides connections to Utrecht (approximately 20 minutes) and The Hague or Amsterdam via the motorway.
