Living in Burgemeesterswijk, Maassluis

Burgemeesterswijk is one of the older, more established neighbourhoods of Maassluis. The name already hints at the atmosphere: this is a neighbourhood with allure, with streets named after former mayors and a spacious layout reminiscent of the expansions of the 1950s and 1960s. You will find detached homes and semi-detached houses alongside terraced houses, with the larger homes situated on the wider avenues. The gardens here are generally greener and deeper than in the newer districts of Maassluis, contributing to the quiet, almost village-like character of the neighbourhood.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is well-equipped. Daily shopping can be done quickly: the centre of Maassluis with supermarkets and shops is within cycling distance. Within the neighbourhood and its immediate surroundings, primary schools are present, which partly explains why families with children form the largest household group, accounting for 510 households. Sports clubs are accessible in the area, and the green spaces in the district score highly with residents. The resident score for green space is 9.0 out of 10, which you can also see when cycling through the streets.

Accessibility is a strong point. Maassluis has its own train station on the Hoekse Lijn, from which you can reach Rotterdam Central in about twenty minutes. Travel time to The Hague is similar. By car, the A20 is quickly accessible, making both Rotterdam and the The Hague region easy to reach. Residents give accessibility a 9.0, which is high for a neighbourhood of this size.

The overall resident score comes to a notable 8.9 out of 10, based on resident reviews.

This social aspect is also reflected in the sub-score for community, which also stands at 9.0.
