Living in De Deijl, Wassenaar
De Deijl is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the north-eastern side of Wassenaar. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for busy shopping streets or catering establishments, but rather for its tranquillity. Those who live here consciously choose space, greenery and distance from the hustle and bustle of the city. The streets are wide, the gardens large and the buildings consist mainly of detached houses and semi-detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s, with occasional newer infill.
The neighbourhood borders open polder landscape and has a direct connection to the green zones around Wassenaar. Cycling along the Deijlseweg or a walk towards the dune edges is a daily routine for residents. This makes De Deijl attractive for people who see nature as an extension of their garden, not as something you have to go out of your way for.
In terms of daily amenities: you are not spoiled in the neighbourhood itself. For a supermarket or shopping facilities, you drive or cycle to the centre of Wassenaar, about ten minutes away. Primary schools in the area are accessible, and for secondary education there are several schools in Wassenaar itself and in Leiden. Sports facilities are available through the various clubs in the municipality, including tennis, hockey and football.
Accessibility by car is good. The A44 towards Amsterdam and Leiden can be reached within a few minutes. The Hague is easily accessible via the N44 or the A4. Public transport is more limited: bus routes run through the neighbourhood, but there is no train station in the neighbourhood itself. The nearest stations are Leiden Centraal or Den Haag Centraal, accessible by bus or bicycle. Those who commute daily without a car must weigh this carefully.
Residents particularly appreciate De Deijl for its peace, space and safety. One resident writes: "It is wonderfully quiet here, the neighbours know each other and the children can play outside without you worrying." Less enthusiastic are some residents about the limited walking distance to amenities and public transport.
