Woubrugge: polder tranquillity with a strong sense of community
Those who live in Woubrugge consciously choose a quiet life. The village lies in the Groene Hart, surrounded by polders, ditches and water, and this largely determines the character of the neighbourhood. It is not a place you go to for urban entertainment or a vibrant nightlife. Residents appreciate the silence, the clarity and the contact with neighbours. On the neighbourhood page of Woubrugge, residents give the village an average score of 7.7 out of 10. Cees de Bruijn describes it as follows: "Quiet and friendly. Helpful and friendly towards each other." In another review, he adds: "Pleasant neighbourhood. Good contact and looking out for each other." This social cohesion is also reflected in the sub-scores: safety (8.5), accessibility (8.5) and sense of community (8.5) score notably high. Green space scores 8.0, which is not surprising for a village literally located in the polder landscape.
The lower scores are for amenities (6.5) and beauty (6.5). Woubrugge does not have an extensive range of shops; for daily groceries and other facilities, you rely on nearby centres. That is a conscious trade-off you need to make as a prospective tenant. If you are looking for a rental home in an environment with plenty of green space and tranquillity, but are also willing to take the car for shops and going out, you are in the right place.
