Living in Vijfakkers-Noord, Zuidplas

Vijfakkers-Noord is a quiet, green corner on the northern edge of Moordrecht. The neighbourhood mainly consists of spacious detached and semi-detached houses, largely built in the 1980s and 1990s. The plots are large, the gardens well-maintained and the streets quiet. You rarely see a strange car here, because through traffic finds its way via other routes. This gives the neighbourhood a secluded character that residents clearly appreciate.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood itself is sparse. There is no supermarket or shopping street within the neighbourhood itself; for that you drive or cycle to the centre of Moordrecht, a few minutes away. There you will find an Albert Heijn, a pharmacy and a handful of local shops. Children from the neighbourhood attend primary schools in Moordrecht or Gouda. Sports clubs such as football club SV Moordrecht are within cycling distance. The greenery is in the immediate vicinity: the polder literally starts behind the back gardens, with walking and cycling paths towards the Reeuwijkse Plassen.

Accessibility by car is good. Via the N219 and the connection to the A12 near Gouda, you are on the motorway towards The Hague or Utrecht within twenty minutes. Gouda has an intercity station with direct connections to Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Amsterdam; the travel time to Gouda Centraal by car or bike is about ten minutes. Public transport from the neighbourhood itself is limited; you are dependent on the car or bike for the first few kilometres here.

Residents describe Vijfakkers-Noord as a place where you buy peace and quiet along with the home. On the neighbourhood page of Vijfakkers-Noord you can read all reviews and neighbourhood data. One resident writes: "It's so quiet here you can hear the birds. Children play outside without you worrying about traffic." At the same time, there is criticism of the scarce public transport and the distance to daily amenities. Anyone without a car quickly feels that dependency.

Compared to neighbouring areas such as Staatsliedenbuurt/Vijfakkers or Kern Moordrecht, Vijfakkers-Noord is much greener and quieter, but also more expensive and less well-served with amenities. If you want a bit more liveliness while retaining a village character, you could also look at Moordrecht Bloemenbuurt. For a broader picture of supply in the region, Zevenhuizen and Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel are also worth a look.

Who is a home in Vijfakkers-Noord interesting for?

The neighbourhood mainly attracts families with children and dual-income earners in the higher income bracket, and that is reflected in the figures: the average income per resident is €45,500, well above the municipal average. With purchase prices starting at €585,000, Vijfakkers-Noord is not a starter neighbourhood. Upsizers looking for space, peace and a large plot, and who see the car as a natural means of transport, usually feel at home here. Be honest with yourself: supply is small, prices are high and overbidding is not unusual for this type of home. If you want to be more flexible in budget, you can also check the rental homes in Vijfakkers-Noord as a temporary alternative while waiting for the right property.
