Living along the Angstel: green, quiet and a conscious choice
Baambrugge is a ribbon village in the peat meadow area of De Ronde Venen, located on the river Angstel. Those who buy a home here consciously choose peace, space and a small-scale community of about 1,455 residents. The largest age group consists of 45 to 65-year-olds, which typifies the character of the village: this is not a place for people seeking the city, but for those who consciously choose to leave it behind. On the neighbourhood page of Baambrugge you can read resident reviews and see how the neighbourhood scores on themes such as safety, green spaces and amenities. Residents particularly appreciate the peace, nature and sense of community. A frequently heard comment is that you know everyone here, which for some is a plus and for others less suitable.
In terms of amenities, Baambrugge is modest but functional. The village has a primary school, a small supermarket and a number of sports clubs including a football club. For more extensive shopping or a visit to the hospital, you drive to Mijdrecht or Abcoude. De Vlieger primary school serves the youngest village residents, and the 290 children up to 15 years old in the village indicate that family life is rooted here. Those looking for more urban amenities can also look at Vinkeveen or Mijdrecht, both with a wider range of shops and schools.
The accessibility of Baambrugge requires some adjustment. There is no train station in the village itself. The nearest stations are Abcoude and Breukelen, both a few minutes' drive away. Via the A2 you are in Amsterdam in about 25 minutes and in Utrecht in 20 minutes. Bus line 127 connects Baambrugge with the surrounding area, but the frequency is limited, so a car is practically indispensable. The rural area of Baambrugge offers even more space and countryside for those who really want to get away from the hustle and bustle, while Baambrugge Village is slightly more compact and social in character. More information about living and residing in the municipality can be found on the website of municipality De Ronde Venen.
For which buyers is Baambrugge a good choice?

Those who want to be more flexible can also look at rental homes in Baambrugge as a temporary alternative. Buying an apartment in Baambrugge is hardly an option; the supply consists almost exclusively of ground-floor homes.
