Living in Maasdam: a village with character on the waterfront
Maasdam lies on a dike, literally and figuratively. The village looks out over the Hollandsch Diep and has that open, wide vista you don't find in urban environments. Residents rate the neighbourhood on Buurtje.nl an 8.5 out of 10, a high score that is widely supported. Accessibility even scores a perfect 10, while green space (9.0) and beauty (9.0) also score above average. The only category that lags slightly is amenities (7.0), and that is fair: Maasdam is a small village of just over 3,200 inhabitants and does not have an extensive shopping centre. For daily groceries you drive to Oud-Beijerland, about ten minutes away. More background on the neighbourhood, including all resident experiences, can be found on the Maasdam neighbourhood page.
The community score of 8.0 fits what you would expect in a village of this size: people know each other, there are active associations and village life thrives. Sports club VV Maasdam offers football for young and old, and there is also local tennis provision. The primary school in the village serves the youngest residents well (education score 9.0), although secondary school students will have to travel to Oud-Beijerland or Heinenoord. In terms of green space, Maasdam has a lot to offer: the dikes, the polders and the proximity to the water make walking and cycling attractive, and the rural area around the village is extensive. Those wanting more space can also look at Maasdam Buitengebied, while Maasdam Woonkern is closer to village amenities.
Accessibility is remarkably good for a village of this size. Via the A29 you are quickly towards Rotterdam (about 30 minutes) or Bergen op Zoom. There are bus connections to Oud-Beijerland, from where you can travel further. Maasdam itself does not have a train station, so driving is almost indispensable. Comparable villages in the region are Mijnsheerenland and Westmaas, which have a similarly quiet character. Those who want to combine more urban amenities with a village living environment can also consider Oud-Beijerland. The municipality has more information about living and amenities on the website of the municipality of Hoeksche Waard.

Pleasant living environment to grow up in. There's a school, playground, shops and church in the neighbourhood. Because it's so small, it's often 'everyone knows everyone', which also makes it closer. I give Maasdam an 8/10!
