Living in Bleyenburg, Westland

Bleyenburg is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the edge of the village of De Lier, in the middle of the Westland greenhouse horticulture area. The neighbourhood has a clear village character: wide streets with plenty of greenery, playgrounds for children and a manageable scale that gives you the feeling you know everyone. The buildings mainly consist of terraced houses and semi-detached houses, built in the 1970s and 1980s. The gardens are generally spacious by Dutch standards, which makes the neighbourhood attractive for families.

The population composition confirms that picture: the largest age group consists of 45 to 65-year-olds (1,110 residents), but there are also 640 children up to 15 years old and 650 households with children. Bleyenburg is therefore a true family neighbourhood where people live for a long time. 43% of residents are married, and the labour participation rate is 73%.

In terms of amenities, Bleyenburg scores remarkably well: residents give Amenities a 9.0. The centre of De Lier is within cycling distance, with a supermarket, pharmacy, GP and small shops. For a larger range of shops, residents travel to Naaldwijk or 's-Gravenzande. Primary schools are available in and around the neighbourhood, but for secondary education, young people have to go to surrounding centres. That is also a point of criticism: the sub-score for Education is 6.5, the lowest of all categories.

Accessibility by car is reasonable. Via the N213 you quickly reach Naaldwijk and the A20. Public transport is more limited: there are bus lines, but the frequency is low and there is no train station in the immediate vicinity. One resident describes it aptly: "Poor public transport", but immediately adds that the centre of De Lier is "easily accessible". Residents who commute daily by public transport should take that into account. By car, however, the neighbourhood is fine.

Green space scores a 9.0 from residents, and that is noticeable. The neighbourhood has spacious green strips, and the surrounding countryside of De Lier is literally just around the corner. If you compare Bleyenburg with neighbouring neighbourhoods such as De Lier Centrumgebied or De Lier West, Bleyenburg is quieter and more inward-looking. The Buitengebied 1 De Lier borders it directly and offers even more space for those seeking it. More neighbourhood information, resident reviews and district data can be found on the neighbourhood main page of Bleyenburg.

For whom is buying in Bleyenburg a good choice?

Bleyenburg mainly attracts families and home-movers looking for space and peace without being far from Westland amenities. The average purchase price of almost €486,000 makes it difficult for first-time buyers, especially since overbidding is not uncommon in this market. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Bleyenburg should know that the supply here is limited: the neighbourhood mainly consists of ground-floor properties.

The lowest score is for Education (6.5). A male resident gives the neighbourhood a 7.1 and writes: "Fine neighbourhood, but watch out: a lot of dog poo on the street, poor public transport and no secondary school or vocational school nearby. However, a well-accessible centre." That is an honest picture of a neighbourhood that offers a lot, but also has its limitations. See all reviews and sub-scores on the page of Bleyenburg.
