Living in Triangel, Waddinxveen
Triangel is a relatively young, planned neighbourhood on the southeast side of Waddinxveen. Most homes were built from the 1990s and early 2000s, with continuation in more recent new-build phases. You can recognise this by the wide streets, spacious front gardens, plenty of greenery in public spaces, and a clear urban layout with residential streets, green strips, and water features. It is not a neighbourhood that grew organically, but was deliberately designed for families seeking space without having to go into the city.
And families are abundant: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years (nearly 2,930 residents), there are over 2,000 children under fifteen, and 1,290 households have children. That determines the atmosphere: quiet, but not silent. During school hours, children cycle through the streets; at weekends, parents stand on the sidelines at sports clubs. Resident Floris describes it aptly: he appreciates the neighbourhood for its "nice people" and cosy atmosphere, and gives Triangel an 8.6 out of 10.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is well-equipped. Primary schools are within walking distance, and the score for education is 9.0 out of 10, the highest of all subcategories along with green space (9.5). That high green score is justified: the neighbourhood has various green strips, water features, and play areas that give the area a sense of openness. For daily groceries, you can go to the nearby shopping centre, and supermarket coverage in and around Waddinxveen is good. For a larger range of shops and dining, the centre of Gouda or Zoetermeer is within easy reach.
Accessibility scores a 7.0, which is reasonable but indicates that you are not without a car here. Triangel is conveniently located relative to the A12 and N209, allowing quick access to The Hague, Utrecht, or Rotterdam. Waddinxveen railway station (Waddinxveen Triangel) is in or directly adjacent to the neighbourhood, with connections to Gouda and The Hague. This makes commuting by train quite feasible. Bus connections are available but limited in frequency outside peak hours.
Compared to neighbourhoods such as Zuidplas 80 and Zuidplas 90, Triangel has a slightly higher average WOZ value and a stronger new-build character. West 2 has a different profile with older buildings. Those who want to view the full neighbourhood data and all ratings can find them on the information page for Triangel.

Auto-translated to English by AIA cosy, rapidly growing neighbourhood in Waddinxveen. De Triangel is spacious and has a lot of greenery. Because it is growing quickly, there is still a lot of construction traffic and unfortunately, when the neighbourhood was built, insufficient consideration was given to the accessibility of the school, resulting in traffic jams in the neighbourhood around school time.
