Living in Vettenoordse Polder Oost, Vlaardingen
Vettenoordse Polder Oost is a neighbourhood you won't quickly forget once you've been there, but also one you might not have had on your radar. It is not a gleaming new-build district nor a trendy urban neighbourhood, but rather a functional, mixed residential area with a down-to-earth character. The buildings largely date from the 1960s and 1970s: porch flats, stacked housing and terraced houses alternate. The streets are spacious, there is plenty of greenery between the buildings, and the neighbourhood has a certain openness that you miss in denser urban areas.
The population composition is diverse. With 5,410 residents and a large group aged between 25 and 45, the neighbourhood has an active, working character. Single-person households are the largest group at 1,275, which explains its popularity among young singles and first-time buyers. The average income of €30,800 is below the municipal average of €35,100, keeping the neighbourhood accessible for people at the start of their housing career.
For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. There are supermarkets within cycling distance, and along the Vettenoordseweg you will find smaller shops and amenities. Primary schools and childcare are available in and directly around the neighbourhood, which is a practical advantage for families. The Babberspark area and the green strips along the polder structure offer space for a walk or a bike ride without seeking out the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
Accessibility is one of the stronger points. Via the A20 you are quickly in Rotterdam or The Hague. Bus connections link the neighbourhood with the centre of Vlaardingen and Vlaardingen Centrum station, from where you can be at Rotterdam Centraal in about twenty minutes by metro (lines B and E). By bike, the city centre of Vlaardingen can be reached in a quarter of an hour.
Residents appreciate the peace and space in the neighbourhood, but are more critical of the appearance of some apartment blocks and the state of public spaces.
