Living in Puttershoek: village life between the polders
Puttershoek is not a village that shouts for attention, and that is exactly what many residents appreciate about it. The atmosphere is quiet and orderly, the streets are green, and social cohesion is remarkably high. Jolanda Kruythof has lived there for almost eleven years and writes: "Everyone cares about everyone else, and the roads here are cleaned every day with a cattle truck." That says something about how the neighbourhood maintains itself. On the neighbourhood page of Puttershoek you will find all resident reviews and sub-scores. The average neighbourhood rating is 7.6 out of 10, with highs for safety (9.0), green spaces (8.5) and education (8.5).
As for amenities, the picture is more mixed. There are primary schools in the village centre, but for secondary education, larger supermarkets and specialist shops you have to go to Oud-Beijerland or Barendrecht. Resident Bram describes it aptly: "Nice street with beautiful homes but a lack of amenities and little to do for young people. The nice things are not within the village." Daan Lemstra adds that it is "simple village life with peace and cosiness", but that accessibility is "not necessarily optimal". The residents' accessibility score confirms that: a 6.2 out of 10. Puttershoek has no train station. You are reliant on the car or regional bus connections towards Barendrecht and Oud-Beijerland. Via the N217 and A29 you can be on the motorway towards Rotterdam or Dordrecht in about twenty minutes. Anyone who commutes daily to a large city would do well to assess that realistically.

The green spaces around the village are a real asset. The Puttershoek Buitengebied offers extensive polders and quiet cycle paths, ideal for those who want to live outside without travelling far. The Puttershoek Woonkern is more compact and family-oriented in character. Sports clubs are present, including a football club. For those seeking more urban vibrancy, villages like Heinenoord or Mijnsheerenland are similar alternatives in the area. More information about municipal facilities can be found on the website of the municipality of Hoeksche Waard.
For whom is buying in Puttershoek a good choice?
Puttershoek mainly attracts families and people aged 45 to 65 who prefer peace and space over urban proximity. With an average sale price of over €522,000, this is not a starter market, although homes under €300,000 occasionally come onto the market. Bear in mind additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for movers) and notary fees. Starters or those who want more flexibility could also look at rental homes in Puttershoek as an intermediate step. Buying an apartment in Puttershoek is not very realistic given the limited supply in that segment.

I moved here almost 11 years ago and I really feel at home here, everyone cares about each other and the roads are cleaned here every day with a street sweeper. There is a beautiful green environment here, there is plenty of housing available and there is enough education here.
