Family district with a green character: how residents experience Wijk 02
Wijk 02 is the western part of Waddinxveen that has seen significant development in recent years. The district includes the popular new-build neighbourhood Triangel, where many young families have settled. The largest age group in the district is 25 to 45 years (4,780 residents), and with 2,525 households with children, this is clearly a family district. On the district page of Wijk 02, residents rate the neighbourhood 7.6 out of 10. What stands out: the score for green space is the highest sub-score at 8.3. And that fits. With the Zuidplaspolder a stone's throw away and the green layout of Triangel, this is not a district where stone and concrete dominate.
Resident Floris sums it up succinctly: he gives an 8.6 and speaks of a "cosy atmosphere" with "nice people". That experience matches what you see when you walk through the district. People chat at the school gate, children cycle to sports clubs, and the atmosphere is relaxed. The sub-scores for education (8.0) and cleanliness (8.0) confirm that picture. There are several primary schools within the district, and the public space looks well-maintained.
However, there are also points of attention. Accessibility scores the lowest of all categories at 6.7. Wijk 02 is not directly located near a train station. You rely on the bus or car towards the A12 or N207. For daily shopping, there are facilities nearby, but for a larger shopping centre you drive to the centre of Waddinxveen. Those specifically looking for a quiet, green environment can also look at rental properties in the neighbourhoods Zuidplas 80 or the western part of the district, where it feels even more rural. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Waddinxveen.

Auto-translated to English by AIA cosy, rapidly growing neighbourhood in Waddinxveen. De Triangel is spacious and has a lot of greenery. Because it is growing quickly, there is still a lot of construction traffic and unfortunately, when the neighbourhood was built, insufficient consideration was given to the accessibility of the school, resulting in traffic jams in the neighbourhood around school time.
