Living in De Wadden: green, quiet and strongly family-oriented

Living in De Wadden feels like living in a neighbourhood that was deliberately designed for people who want space but don't want the city too far away. The buildings are predominantly spacious, with plenty of greenery between the streets and a relatively low building density. The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds, and households with children are the most common family composition. This is also reflected in how the neighbourhood feels: quiet, tidy, little nuisance.

On the neighbourhood page of De Wadden, residents speak positively about the peace and green surroundings. A frequently heard point is that the neighbourhood is pleasantly clear and that neighbours know each other. Some residents are more critical about the shopping facilities within walking distance: for daily groceries you rely on nearby shopping centres, but a large supermarket within the neighbourhood itself is lacking. Accessibility by car is good thanks to the proximity of the N209 and the connection to the A12 and A20. By bus towards Rotterdam or Lansingerland-Zoetermeer station, the connection is reasonable, although the car is the primary means of transport for most residents. Around the neighbourhood there are green zones that invite walking and cycling.

De Wadden consists of several sub-neighbourhoods, each with its own character. Berkelse Poort is a newer area with modern homes, while Rodenrijse Zoom is located more on the green edge. Bonfut and Annie M.G. Schmidtpark Zuid also each have their own atmosphere and housing typology. As for schools, there are primary schools in and around the neighbourhood; for secondary education, pupils rely on Bergschenhoek or Bleiswijk.
