Living in Broekvelden-Noord, Bodegraven-Reeuwijk
Broekvelden-Noord is a quiet, ground-floor residential neighbourhood on the north side of Bodegraven. The area was largely built in the 1970s and 1980s, which is reflected in the straight street patterns, front gardens and relatively spacious plots for a residential core of this size.

The location relative to the centre of Bodegraven is easily manageable by bike. The centre of Bodegraven is about a ten-minute bike ride away, where you can go for daily groceries at, among others, an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo, and a modest range of shops for clothing and personal care. For more extensive shopping trips, Gouda or Alphen aan den Rijn are the logical destinations. Bodegraven station, on the Utrecht-Gouda line, is accessible via a short bike ride. From Bodegraven, you can drive to Gouda in about twenty minutes and to Utrecht Centraal in about forty minutes. For motorists, the A12 is the main access road, which is easily reachable via the N11.
Primary schools are present in and around the neighbourhood, which fits the profile of the area: the largest group of households consists of families with children (330 households), and the largest age group is 45 to 65 years.
