Living in Groenswaard 1, Waddinxveen

Groenswaard 1 is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the western part of Waddinxveen. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1970s and 1980s, with a recognisable streetscape of wide avenues, plenty of greenery between the homes and spacious plots. The name says it all: green is not an afterthought here. Gardens are generally large, the streets are not too narrow and there is little building that takes away the sense of space.

The homes are mostly detached or semi-detached, with the occasional row of owner-occupied houses. They are solid, well-maintained houses that have been adapted and extended by residents over the years. You see few rental properties on the streets, which contributes to a stable, engaged living environment. The neighbourhood attracts many families and people in the 45 to 65 age group, which is also visible in the streetscape: quiet during the day, lively in the gardens in the evening.

For daily shopping you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. The Luifelbaan shopping centre is within cycling distance and offers a supermarket, bakery and various shops for daily use. For a larger range of shops, the centre of Waddinxveen is reachable by bike in about ten minutes. Children can attend primary schools in the immediate vicinity, and for sports there are football and tennis clubs nearby. Groenpark offers space for walking and being outdoors.

Residents appreciate the peace, space and green appearance of the neighbourhood. On the neighbourhood main page of Groenswaard 1 you will find all resident experiences and neighbourhood scores together. One resident writes: "It's wonderfully quiet here, the children play outside and the neighbours know each other. Exactly what we were looking for." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited public transport connections for those without a car, and on the fact that supply is scarce and quickly snapped up.

Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Groenswaard 2 and Groenswaard 3, Groenswaard 1 has a slightly quieter character and the homes are on average more spacious.

Who is a home for sale in Groenswaard 1 interesting for?

With an average selling price of almost €600,000 and a lower limit of over €439,000, this is not a starter neighbourhood. Starters who still want to buy in Waddinxveen would do well to also look at homes for sale in Wijk 01 more broadly, or at the Peter Zuidlaan and Horstenbuurt for possibly more accessible options. Seniors who want to live comfortably and quietly also find their place here, although the homes are not always single-storey. Supply is limited and homes sell quickly; overbidding is not uncommon in this neighbourhood. Those who do not want to buy or are still orienting themselves can also look at the rental properties in Groenswaard 1 as a temporary alternative.
