Living in Vaartkant, Drimmelen

Vaartkant is a quiet, green neighbourhood on the western edge of Terheijden, directly bordering the rural area of the municipality of Drimmelen. The name refers to its location along the canal, and that water is palpably present in the neighbourhood: cycling routes along the Donge, views over meadows and an atmosphere that is more rural than village-like. Anyone expecting a bustling residential area here will be disappointed. Those seeking peace, space and greenery will quickly feel at home here.

The homes largely date from the 1970s and 1980s, with a mix of semi-detached houses and detached homes on larger plots. There is hardly any new construction; the neighbourhood is largely built up. This also means that the homes are characteristic, but sometimes energetically outdated. The average gas consumption of 970 m³ is relatively low for this type of home, although the electricity consumption of 3,070 kWh is normal for a family home of this size.

For daily groceries, residents rely on the nearby Terheijden centre, less than two kilometres away by bike. There you will find a supermarket, a pharmacy and a handful of local shops. There is no large shopping centre in the immediate vicinity; for that you need to go to Made or Breda. Primary education is available in Terheijden itself; for secondary education, students rely on Made or Breda.

In terms of accessibility, Vaartkant is typically West Brabant: a car is almost indispensable. The A59 is reachable via the N285 in about ten minutes, after which Breda and Den Bosch are each within half an hour. There is no train station in Terheijden; the nearest station is Made-Drimmelen, about five kilometres away. Bus line 132 connects Terheijden with Breda and Made, but the frequency is limited. Cyclists have it better: along the canal there are pleasant routes towards Drimmelen and Terheijden.

Residents most appreciate the peace and space. On the neighbourhood main page of Vaartkant you can read the full resident experiences and scores per category. One resident writes: "You really live out here, but yet not far from everything. The children play in the street and you know your neighbours." Critical notes usually concern the limited public transport and the distance to larger amenities.

Relative to Zeggepolder-oost, the housing supply here is on average larger and more expensive.

Who is a home for sale in Vaartkant interesting for?

Vaartkant mainly attracts families and movers who consciously choose space and peace, and are willing to pay for it.
