Living in Landgoed Driessen, Waalwijk

Landgoed Driessen is a relatively young neighbourhood on the west side of Waalwijk, in the core of Sprang-Capelle. The name refers to the former estate on which the district was built, and that character is still visible: wide street profiles, greenery between the homes and a certain tranquillity that you find less often in older, denser neighbourhoods. The housing types range from detached homes and semi-detached houses to terraced houses and apartments, all predominantly new-build or recently built. Resident A. Ligtenberg describes it aptly: "We live in a lovely apartment with a beautiful view. It feels like we're living in a nature reserve. We moved from a detached house but wouldn't want to leave here!" That sense of space and greenery is a recurring theme in residents' experiences.

At the same time, there are also clear areas for improvement. Several residents indicate that a supermarket in the neighbourhood itself is missed, and that there is a need for more greenery in the form of a park or playground. Jayden writes: "It's a fairly new but quiet neighbourhood, nothing special, a school nearby, some play areas for children, otherwise nothing special. Only a supermarket in the neighbourhood itself would be nice." That is honest feedback to consider if you are thinking of renting a home here.
