Living in Overbuurtse Polder, Lansingerland
Overbuurtse Polder is not your average residential neighbourhood. Anyone driving through here for the first time will mainly see greenhouses, polder ditches and a handful of detached homes scattered along the lanes. It is a neighbourhood that in character resembles a rural area more than a classic residential district, and that is exactly what residents appreciate about it. Resident Karlijne describes it aptly: "A quiet neighbourhood with few houses and mainly lots of greenhouses." That says a lot about the atmosphere: space, silence and little traffic are the norm here.
The homes are predominantly detached and sit on spacious plots. You will not find any terraced houses or new-build blocks here. The development is sparse, which preserves the openness of the landscape. With 735 residents and 309 homes, this is one of the smaller neighbourhoods in the region. The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds, which fits the quiet, established character of the neighbourhood. Families with young children are fewer, although there are 85 children under the age of fifteen.
As for amenities, you have to be honest: Overbuurtse Polder has virtually none. There is no supermarket around the corner, no community centre and no primary school within the neighbourhood itself. For daily shopping and schools, you rely on the centres of Bleiswijk or Bergschenhoek, a few kilometres away. That is not a problem for most residents here, but it is something to keep in mind if you are considering buying a home here.
Accessibility scores a 6.0 in resident reviews, and that is fair. There is no train station in the immediate vicinity. The nearest public transport connections depart from Bleiswijk or via the N209 towards Zoetermeer or Rotterdam. By car, you can reach the motorway relatively quickly via the N209 and the A12, which makes the neighbourhood attractive for commuters who prefer driving to using public transport. By bike, the rural route is nice, but for daily trips to amenities, the distance is noticeable.
The resident score stands at 7.1 out of 10, based on two reviews. Safety stands out clearly with a 9.5, which fits a neighbourhood where you know your neighbours and experience little unfamiliar bustle. Resident Levi gives the neighbourhood an 8.2 and simply writes: "I've always enjoyed it here and have no complaints." Scoring lower are accessibility, housing and education, all at 6.0. That reflects the reality of a neighbourhood that has little infrastructure but offers plenty of peace and quiet. More reviews and all neighbourhood data can be found on the neighbourhood main page of Overbuurtse Polder.

Who is a home in Overbuurtse Polder interesting for?
Buying in Overbuurtse Polder is reserved for a specific buyer. You have to love space, peace and a rural environment, and you must not need amenities within walking distance. The neighbourhood mainly attracts movers and established middle-aged households who consciously choose a detached home in the green, far from the hustle and bustle. First-time buyers and young families who depend on schools and public transport nearby will feel less at home here. The price level, with an average selling price of over €906,000, makes this not a starter market anyway. Supply is limited: only a handful of homes are sold per year, so if something becomes available, quick action is advisable. Want to first explore renting?
