Living in Vinkeveen Plassengebied
Anyone entering Plassengebied via Groenlandsekade or Baambrugse Zuwe immediately notices that this is no ordinary residential area. Here you live literally on or between the Vinkeveense Plassen, one of the most popular recreational areas in the Randstad. The character is green, spacious and water-rich. The buildings consist largely of detached houses and villas, many built from the 1970s to recent new builds. Gardens often run down to the water, complete with a jetty and boat. It is quiet here, especially during the week. At weekends and in summer, that changes: water sports enthusiasts, swimmers and day-trippers flock to the lakes, which can cause extra crowds and traffic on the narrow access roads.
Daily amenities are not found in Plassengebied itself. For those, you drive to Vinkeveen Dorp, where you will find an Albert Heijn, a bakery and various small shops. Primary school De Boomgaard and sports club VV Vinkeveen are also in the village. For more extensive shopping or secondary education, you go to Mijdrecht, about ten minutes away by car. In terms of accessibility, you are reasonably placed: the A2 towards Amsterdam and Utrecht can be reached via the N201 in a quarter of an hour. Public transport is more limited. Bus line 120 (Uithoorn-Breukelen) stops in Vinkeveen Dorp, but there is no train station. The nearest stations are Breukelen and Abcoude, both about fifteen minutes away by car. A car of your own is virtually indispensable here.
The residents of Plassengebied are predominantly over-45s (740 of the 1,840 inhabitants are between 45 and 65) with an above-average income of €58,200. The percentage of highly educated people is 35%. Residents particularly appreciate the peace, the water and the space. "You step out of your house and you are on the water. In summer it feels like a holiday," writes a resident on the page with resident reviews of Vinkeveen Plassengebied. Recurring criticisms are the limited amenities in the immediate vicinity, the crowds in the summer season and the maintenance of the narrow roads. Compared to neighbourhoods such as Zuiderwaard-Westerheul or the rural area of Vinkeveen, Plassengebied is the most exclusive in terms of price level and housing type, but also the most car-dependent.
Is a home for sale in Vinkeveen Plassengebied right for you?
