Bleiswijk: a village with character, greenery and short lines
Living in Bleiswijk still truly feels like living in a village, even though Rotterdam is just around the corner. The neighbourhood has a quiet, orderly atmosphere that is highly appreciated by families and older residents. On the Bleiswijk neighbourhood page you will find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents cite the peace and social involvement as major plus points. A frequently heard comment is that everyone knows each other and that neighbours are still real neighbours. Residents are more critical about the limited range of shops in the village itself and the dependence on the car for larger groceries or going out.
For daily amenities you can go to the supermarket in the village centre, but for a full range of shops you quickly drive to Bergschenhoek or Zoetermeer. Children can attend primary school De Wegwijzer or De Rank, both in the village. Sportingly, Bleiswijk is well equipped: football club DSVP and tennis club TV Bleiswijk are active and have a strong local following. The surrounding landscape with greenhouses, polders and cycle paths makes it attractive for those who want to be outdoors. The neighbourhood Zeldenrust is popular among families due to the newer homes and quiet streets, while De Hoefslag offers a more varied streetscape with older owner-occupied homes.
In terms of accessibility, Bleiswijk is heavily dependent on the car. There is no own train station: the nearest station is Rotterdam Alexander, about ten minutes by car. Bus connections run towards Zoetermeer and Rotterdam, but frequency is limited outside peak hours. Via the A12 and N209 you are quickly on the motorway, which makes commuting to The Hague or Utrecht attractive. Those considering looking in the wider area can also include Bergschenhoek or Wilderszijde in the comparison. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Lansingerland.
For whom is buying in Bleiswijk a good choice?
Bleiswijk mainly attracts families and home-movers who are looking for space and appreciate village tranquillity. The average purchase price of over €572,000 makes it difficult for first-time buyers, although at the lower end of the market homes are available from €350,000.

The supply varies greatly and sometimes goes quickly. Those who are still unsure whether the step to buying is too big can also look at the rental homes in Bleiswijk as an intermediate solution.
