Living in Buitengebied Kwintsheul, Westland
Buitengebied Kwintsheul is not a residential neighbourhood in the traditional sense. Here you live among the greenhouses, along narrow polder ditches and on farmyards that have sometimes been in the same family for generations. It is the heart of greenhouse horticulture in the municipality of Westland, and anyone who buys a house here consciously chooses space, peace and a rural life just a quarter of an hour's drive from Delft or The Hague.
The buildings are scattered across the rural area and consist largely of detached houses, farmhouses and former agricultural dwellings. Construction periods vary widely: from older rural properties to 1980s and 1990s new-build that was placed on spacious plots at the time. Buying an apartment in Buitengebied Kwintsheul is virtually out of the question; this is the domain of the ground-based home with a garden.
In terms of amenities, the rural area is sparse, and that is deliberate. You do your nearest daily shopping in the village of Kwintsheul itself, where there is a local supermarket and a few shops. For a larger range of shops you drive to Naaldwijk, about five kilometres away. Primary schools can be found in Kwintsheul and surrounding villages. Sports clubs are active in the village, including football and tennis clubs that maintain community life. The municipality of Westland actively supports liveability in the rural area; more information can be found on the website of the municipality of Westland.
Accessibility by car is good. Via the N213 and the connection to the A20 you are quickly towards Rotterdam or The Hague. The nearest train station is Naaldwijk, although that is a bus stop in practice; the nearest full train station is 's-Gravenzande or Schiedam. Public transport is limited in the rural area; a car is not a luxury here but a necessity. Cyclists find quiet polder routes, but distances to amenities are too great for daily cycling without an e-bike.
Residents of Buitengebied Kwintsheul particularly appreciate the peace and space. One resident describes it aptly: "You really live out here, no neighbours breathing down your neck, children just play outside without worries. But don't expect liveliness around the corner." That latter is also the downside that several residents mention: if you are looking for conviviality and amenities within walking distance, you will be disappointed in the rural area. Compared to Kwintsheul Centrumgebied, where homes are closer together and amenities are more accessible, the rural area is a different world. The adjacent Bedrijventerrein Bovendijk also has a very different profile: it is primarily commercial in nature. The rural area is thus the most rural and quiet neighbourhood within the district of Kwintsheul.
Who is a home for sale in Buitengebied Kwintsheul interesting for?
With an average selling price of over €900,000, this is not a starter area. The neighbourhood mainly attracts movers and established families who consciously choose space and a rural living environment. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and 44% of households are married. Starters or people with a smaller budget would do well to look at rental homes in Buitengebied Kwintsheul as an alternative, although the supply is limited. Be honest with yourself: the supply is scarce (six transactions in a year), overbidding is realistic and homes are not always offered publicly. A buying agent with knowledge of the local market is no unnecessary luxury here.
