Living in Uitbreiding Dorp, Krimpenerwaard
Uitbreiding Dorp, as the name somewhat suggests, is the later expansion ring around the historic core of Bergambacht. The neighbourhood has a quiet, green and distinctly village character. No busy shopping streets or urban dynamism, but wide streets with front gardens, spacious plots and a pace that suits the Groene Hart. The housing largely dates from the 1970s and 1980s, with terraced houses and semi-detached houses as the most common property types. Here and there are also detached houses, which explain the higher price outliers in the sales data.
The neighbourhood is located right next to the village of Bergambacht, meaning daily amenities are within cycling distance. Bergambacht has a local supermarket, a primary school, a GP practice and various sports clubs, including a football club and tennis club. For a larger range of shops or secondary schools, residents travel to Schoonhoven or Gouda, both about a twenty-minute drive away. Schoonhoven also has a wider range of amenities and an attractive historic centre.
In terms of accessibility, Uitbreiding Dorp is a typical polder address: a car is almost indispensable. The N210 and N228 connect the neighbourhood to the region. There is no train station in Bergambacht itself; the nearest station is Gouda, accessible by bus or car. Bus services run through the centre of Bergambacht, but the frequency is limited, which is a point of attention for commuters. Cyclists benefit from the flat polder landscape and quiet roads towards surrounding villages.
Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space the neighbourhood offers. On the neighbourhood page of Uitbreiding Dorp you can read what residents themselves write about their area. A frequently heard comment: "You really live quietly here, the children play outside and everyone knows each other. Only for shopping you sometimes have to get in the car."
