Living in De Lier: village character with Westland down-to-earthness
De Lier is a village that has retained its own identity, despite formally belonging to the municipality of Westland. It is compact, well-organised and has an active community life. On the neighbourhood page of De Lier, residents give the village an 8.3 out of 10. Notably high scores are for safety (9.0), green spaces (9.0) and amenities (9.0). One resident sums it up succinctly: "Fine", but does note drawbacks such as dog mess on the streets, limited public transport and the lack of a secondary school or vocational college. The latter is relevant if you have school-age children: for secondary education they need to go to Naaldwijk or Delft.
In terms of daily amenities, you are well catered for. In the centre you will find supermarkets (Albert Heijn and Dirk van den Broek), a GP practice, pharmacy, various eateries and specialist shops. There are several primary schools, including De Rank and De Kyckert. Sports enthusiasts can go to football club VELO, tennis club De Lier or the De Waterman swimming pool, near Sportpark de Zweth. The surroundings are green: towards the rural area you can walk straight into the greenhouses and polders, typical Westland landscape.
Accessibility is a point of attention. De Lier does not have a train station. You are reliant on bus routes to Delft and The Hague, but the frequency is limited, especially in the evenings. By car, via the N223 and A4, you can reach Delft or The Hague in about twenty minutes. This makes having your own car almost essential. If you prefer to look in a town with better public transport connections, you could consider 's-Gravenzande or Monster. More information about municipal plans and developments can be found on the website of the municipality of Westland.
