Living in Pijnacker: village character between two big cities
Pijnacker scores an 8.0 out of 10 from residents based on reviews on the neighbourhood page of Pijnacker. Safety (8.7), accessibility (8.5) and education (8.5) score notably high. Resident Samanta describes it aptly: "I live wonderfully quietly with lots of greenery, sheep passing my house every day." That combination of peace and green is exactly what many buyers are looking for here. Resident Sam does qualify the picture: "Slightly friendlier people would be nice, but generally pleasant." The community score of 7.5 confirms this: Pijnacker is not a neighbourhood where you are immediately welcomed by the neighbours, but the contacts that exist are experienced as pleasant.
In terms of amenities, you are well served. In Pijnacker-Centrum you will find supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Lidl), specialist shops and hospitality venues along Stationsstraat and Raadhuisplein. For education, there is a wide choice: primary schools such as De Schatkaart, Het Spectrum and De Regenboog are spread across the neighbourhood, and secondary school pupils often go to Stanislas College in Delft or schools in Zoetermeer. Sports club VV Pijnacker, tennis club Pijnacker and swimming pool De Viergang offer sports facilities for all ages. The Groene Hart feeling is tangible with the Balijbos, the Groenzoom and the polders around the neighbourhood, where you can cycle and walk directly.
Accessibility is one of the strongest points. Resident TC writes: "Can easily reach the metro, centre is close." Randstadrail stations Pijnacker Zuid and Pijnacker Centrum connect you to Den Haag Centraal in about 20 minutes and to Rotterdam in 25 minutes. Luuk de Bruijn, who has lived there his whole life, confirms: "I have everything I want nearby." By car, via the N470 you are quickly on the A12 and A13. That strategic location between The Hague and Rotterdam, without the hustle and bustle of the city, makes living in Pijnacker attractive for commuters. Also compare the supply in neighbouring municipalities Nootdorp and Delfgauw to get a good picture of the region.

The entry price of around €375,000 makes it still achievable for starters with an above-average income, although you should allow for additional costs: approximately 2% transfer tax, notary and valuation costs.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a small neighbourhood. Everything is easily accessible and there will be little that you miss. Close to The Hague and Rotterdam. Perfect location. A bit friendlier people would be nice but overall nice.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood neighbourhood, almost never any problems, easily accessible, only a bus from the centre through the rest of Pijnacker Noord would be nice. In terms of housing, there is little choice. It would be nice if there were more starter homes, or low prices.
