Living in Oostpolderwijk, Waddinxveen

For schoolchildren, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity; residents give education a score of 7.5. Sports clubs and recreational facilities are available in the wider municipality. The neighbourhood has sufficient green space for a residential area, although this is not its strongest point: residents give greenery a 6.5.
Accessibility scores the highest of all sub-scores at 8.5, and that is understandable. Waddinxveen has its own NS station, Waddinxveen Triangel, from which you can reach Gouda or Rotterdam in about twenty minutes.

Resident Noah Schoonderwoerd describes it as a "fine district, little crime" and adds: "The neighbourhood is good with each other but there is little organised by the neighbourhood." That picture matches the community score of 6.5: people know each other, but major neighbourhood initiatives are rare. Another resident, Jan Maatkamp, offers a more critical note: he indicates that the neighbourhood used to be nicer and that decline is noticeable in various respects, even though maintenance work on homes is currently being carried out. That honest divide is something to bear in mind. The overall resident score comes out at 6.9 based on 2 reviews. Read all reviews on the Oostpolderwijk neighbourhood page.
