Waterwijk-Landerijen: a family neighbourhood with plenty of green space, but not without its drawbacks

Residents give Waterwijk-Landerijen a 7.7 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl. That is a solid score, supported by notably high marks for green space (8.4) and safety (8.2). It is a neighbourhood best described as a lived-in, green family area. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, but with over 2,000 children under 15 and 2,135 households with children, it is clearly also a place where families feel at home. Resident Jhosefien, who has lived there for 33 years, describes it as follows: "Child-friendly neighbourhood with lots of green space, quiet, with shops and schools nearby. Sports clubs in the neighbourhood, a community centre, pharmacy, GPs and physiotherapy practices." That matches the picture: amenities are concentrated around the Wijkcentrum on Voorstraat, where you will find a supermarket, healthcare providers and eateries.

The neighbourhood consists of clearly distinct areas. The green, water-rich part around the Merenbuurt and the Zeeënbuurt mainly attracts families looking for space. In the newer Landerijen Zuid/Oost and Landerijen Noord/West, there are more recent single-family homes, often with better energy labels. Resident Cor gives the neighbourhood a 10 and writes: "Good quiet neighbourhood, only decent friendly people live here. Good contact with the neighbours and they also keep a close eye on unusual events in the neighbourhood." At the same time, not everyone is so positive. Herman warns that rudeness is increasing and that there is more and more intolerance. He gives a 5.5. This difference in nuance is important: the neighbourhood scores well on paper, but social cohesion varies per street and per area. All resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data for Waterwijk-Landerijen can be read on the neighbourhood page.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores a 7.6. Lelystad Centrum station is within cycling distance, and via the A6 you are relatively quickly in Almere or Zwolle. Within the neighbourhood, there are supervised playgrounds, primary schools and sports clubs around Sportpark Doggersbank. The score for amenities (7.2) is the lowest sub-score, and you notice that: for more extensive shopping or going out, you have to go to the centre of Lelystad.
