Bodegraven-Noord, the best-rated part of the municipality
The northern part of Bodegraven, with newer neighbourhoods towards the Oude Rijn, scores a 9.0 from residents based on their neighbourhood score. Here you will find relatively many through-lounge houses and semi-detached homes from the 1990s and later, popular with families with children. The proximity of primary schools, sports park De Broekvelden and supermarkets makes it a practical place to live. Prices here are slightly above the municipal average due to its popularity. See the housing supply in Bodegraven-Noord for the current overview.
Reeuwijk-Brug, village living by the lakes
Reeuwijk-Brug is the largest centre of the former Reeuwijk and lies strategically between the Reeuwijkse Plassen and the A12. Residents give it an 8.8 and particularly appreciate the combination of peace and accessibility. One resident writes: "Wonderfully quiet living with everything you need within reach." You will find a mix of 1970s homes and new builds, with its own shopping strip along the Zoutmansweg. For families, there is primary school De Rank and the lakes are within walking distance.

Bodegraven-Zuid, the centre with character
Bodegraven-Zuid includes the old village centre with the Brugstraat, the weekly market and most of the shops and catering establishments. With a neighbourhood score of 7.6, it is rated slightly lower, partly due to the busier traffic situation and older housing stock. At the same time, this is the neighbourhood where you will find the most amenities and where buying an apartment in Bodegraven-Reeuwijk is most obvious. First-time buyers find the most affordable entry here. Discover the available homes in Bodegraven-Zuid.
Reeuwijk-Dorp, rural and spacious
Reeuwijk-Dorp is smaller and more rural than Reeuwijk-Brug. Here you really live in the Groene Hart, with views of meadows and ditches. The supply mainly consists of detached houses and farmhouses, meaning prices are at the upper end of the range. Amenities are limited; you rely on Reeuwijk-Brug or Bodegraven for daily shopping. Those seeking space and peace will find their place here. See the supply in Reeuwijk-Dorp.
In addition, there are three smaller centres worth considering. Driebruggen is a small ribbon village along the Enkele Wiericke with a neighbourhood score of 5.5; residents mention the limited level of amenities as a downside. Nieuwerbrug aan den Rijn lies directly on the A12 and offers affordable homes, but the motorway is audible. Waarder is a compact village with a close-knit community, suitable for those who want it really quiet. All neighbourhood scores and reviews can be found on the page with resident reviews of Bodegraven-Reeuwijk.
What to look out for when buying a home in Bodegraven-Reeuwijk?
Firstly: look carefully at the difference between the centres. The price differences within the municipality are significant. A terraced house in Bodegraven-Zuid can be around €350,000, while a detached house in Reeuwijk-Dorp can go towards a million. Determine in advance what type of living environment you are looking for and adjust your budget accordingly.
Secondly: be prepared for competition. The market in the Groene Hart is tight and overbidding is common, especially for family homes in Bodegraven-Noord and Reeuwijk-Brug. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing.
Thirdly: check the accessibility from your specific neighbourhood. Bodegraven station is on the west side of the centre, so from Reeuwijk-Dorp or Waarder you rely on the car. The A12 is a blessing for commuters, but also causes noise pollution in some neighbourhoods.
Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and resident reviews on Buurtje.nl to get an honest picture of each neighbourhood. Figures on safety, amenities and community spirit tell you more than a half-hour viewing. Are you considering renting instead? Then also check the rental homes in Bodegraven-Reeuwijk.

Auto-translated to English by AIMany neighbours keep to themselves and there is little sense of community. Even though things regularly happen here, like a car on fire, car windows being smashed, a neighbour being bullied regularly, bikes being stolen, 3 devices have been placed that cause irritation. And so on. It's a shame, it's a nice neighbourhood and a beautiful neighbourhood that we can be proud of. Maybe organise a neighbourhood day next year so we can help each other, who knows, then it might get better.
Auto-translated to English by AII'm not often outside, but there's hardly anything going on
Auto-translated to English by AIlots of happy people and almost no loitering youths
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a cosy neighbourhood because all the shops you need are nearby. Also easily accessible by train. However, on every street there are Polish supermarkets or Syrian barbers, which has made the neighbourhood not only look shabby but also unrecognisable. Moreover, because of that, cars are always parked where they shouldn't be, causing a lot of nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood neighbourhood, nice village with everything in it like shopping centre, beaches, lakes, forests, pubs, ice cream parlours, pizzerias and chip shops.
Auto-translated to English by AISuper nice neighbourhood to live in, close to the motorway and close to Gouda so a great location! 2 primary schools nearby and a small shopping centre within walking distance!
