Living in Noordwest: quiet, mixed and well-connected
Living in Noordwest feels like a neighbourhood that doesn't try to be more than it is, and that's precisely its strength. Residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 7.3 on Buurtje.nl, with notably high scores for accessibility (8.4) and safety (7.6). Jorim, who has lived in the neighbourhood for seven years, writes: "The neighbourhood is very pet-friendly. People are very alert to burglaries.

More reviews and all neighbourhood data can be found on the Noordwest neighbourhood page.
Facilities score somewhat lower (6.0), and that's honestly justified. Within the neighbourhood itself, the offering is limited: a supermarket and primary schools are present, but for more extensive shopping or dining out, you'll need to go to Veenendaal city centre, which is within cycling distance. Willem describes it dryly: "There's only a playground in the neighbourhood, so nothing else to do." For daily groceries, the neighbourhood suffices; for more, you'll need to hop on your bike. Sports facilities are plentiful in the wider area, with various clubs in Veenendaal-Noord accessible via the Rondweg.
Accessibility is a clear plus point. Noordwest is conveniently located relative to the A12 and A30 motorways, making it attractive for commuters heading to Utrecht or Arnhem. Veenendaal-De Klomp is the nearest train station, a short bike ride away, with direct connections to Utrecht Centraal in about 35 minutes. Bus services via the Parallelweg and surrounding routes provide additional public transport. The sub-neighbourhoods De Batterijen and Molenbrug also fall under Noordwest and each have their own street character, from quiet residential streets to slightly busier locations near access roads. Gelderse Blom and 't Hoorntje are also worth exploring if you're looking at homes for sale in this part of Veenendaal. However, there is criticism of the maintenance of public spaces: several residents point to dog mess and insufficient mowing, although according to Lucille, the municipality cleans regularly. That's something to judge for yourself during a viewing.
For which buyers is Noordwest a serious option?
Buying a home in Noordwest mainly appeals to families and young couples looking for an affordable home without being in a busy urban environment. The mixed age structure, from families with children to older residents, ensures a stable neighbourhood dynamic. Starters can find entry-level homes under €300,000, although overbidding is also common here in a sought-after segment. In addition to the purchase price, factor in additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters), notary fees and any renovation costs. If you'd rather get a feel for the neighbourhood first, you could also look at rental homes in Noordwest as an intermediate step.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood here is very pet-friendly, which is nice because I have a dog. People here are also very alert to burglaries or the like; in the seven years I've lived here, I haven't experienced a single burglary. Also, people from this neighbourhood are very kind and happy to help you.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice place to live, but the municipality does little maintenance. There's dog poop everywhere and the grass hasn't been mowed for a very long time. This makes it harder to clean up dog poop, but also for (small) children to play.
