Green, quiet and a bit on the edge of everything: living in Maasland
Maasland is a village that doesn't impose itself. It lies in the middle of the open polder landscape of Midden-Delfland, surrounded by meadows and cycling routes that lead to the Vlaardingse Vaart and the Zweth. Residents give the village an average score of 7.0 on Buurtje.nl based on reviews, but the sub-scores tell a more nuanced story. Safety scores a 9.0 and green spaces a 9.0, fitting for a village where children play outside and no one locks their door at night out of fear. The beauty of the surroundings gets an 8.0, as does housing and education.
But not everything is rosy. Accessibility scores notably low: a 3.0. That's no mistake. Maasland has no train station and the bus service is limited. Jessica Manhoef, who gave the village a 7.0, writes honestly: "Public transport could use some improvement." She describes it as a "mixed neighbourhood with new arrivals," which matches the demographic data: alongside established families (46% married, the largest group aged 45-65), new residents are also moving in. She also mentions the loose dogs and the ground-level containers where a full rubbish bag just doesn't fit, "a rural dilemma, but still." These are the small annoyances that make a village human. You can read more resident experiences on the Maasland neighbourhood page, including all sub-scores and detailed neighbourhood data.
Amenities score a 5.0 and community spirit a 6.0. Maasland has a village centre with basic shops, a supermarket and some hospitality, but for a wider range you need to go to Vlaardingen, Schiedam or Delft. Within the village, there are several neighbourhoods each with their own character: for example, Dijkpolder has a newer, more planned feel, while Gaag-Maasland follows the rural ribbon along the polder. Ter Lucht is also a neighbourhood worth considering if you want to compare within Maasland. Renting in Maasland means choosing peace, space and safety, but you have to make a conscious choice and know that a car or bike is essential.

Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to wait for a social rental home in Maasland?
Maasland has relatively few rental homes: only 28% of the housing stock is rental, of which 25% is owned by housing associations. Waiting times for social rental homes in the Haaglanden and Rijnmond region are typically several years. Registering with the regional housing association as early as possible is therefore strongly recommended.
Is Maasland well accessible by public transport for a tenant without a car?
Accessibility is a known issue in Maasland. Residents rate this aspect a 3.0 out of 10. There is no train station in the village and the bus service is limited. For work or study in Delft, Vlaardingen or Rotterdam, you are in practice heavily dependent on a car or bicycle.
What is the average rent for a rental home in Maasland?
Maasland has a small private sector: only 3% of homes are rented from private landlords. As a result, supply is scarce and prices can be higher than in surrounding villages. Check the current overview at the top of this page for the most recent rents and available homes.
How safe is it to rent a home in Maasland?
Maasland scores excellently on safety: residents give this a 9.0 out of 10. It is a quiet village with little nuisance, where families and elderly people feel at home. Loose dogs are mentioned by some residents as a point of attention, but serious safety issues do not occur here.
Are there good schools nearby if I rent an apartment in Maasland?
Education scores an 8.0 based on resident reviews. Maasland has primary school facilities in the village itself. For secondary education, children are dependent on surrounding places such as Schipluiden or Vlaardingen, but that is common for a village of this size.
Varied but generally good.. we have many loose dogs here, something needs to be done about that, but otherwise it's nice and the communication is okay. Also regarding public transport, there is room for improvement. Ground containers, who thought that a full rubbish bag barely fits through the flap? A national dilemma, but in a village in the municipality of Midden Delfland it's very annoying when the waste blows across the polder.
