Living in Reeuwijkse Hout, Bodegraven-Reeuwijk

Reeuwijkse Hout is not an ordinary residential neighbourhood. It is a wooded and watery area north of the Reeuwijkse Plassen, where you mainly find detached bungalows, chalets and holiday homes. The atmosphere is quiet, green and somewhat secluded. Many homes are hidden among the greenery along narrow paths and lanes. It feels more like permanent holiday than a classic residential area. The buildings date from various periods, from the 1970s to more recent renovations, and the plots are remarkably large.

Facilities are scarce in the immediate vicinity. For your daily shopping, schools and sports clubs, you rely on Reeuwijk-Brug, a few minutes' drive away.

A car is practically indispensable here.
