Living in Vlinderstrik, Lansingerland
Vlinderstrik is one of the newer residential neighbourhoods in the north of Lansingerland, located in the district of Rodenrijs. The neighbourhood was developed in the 1990s and early 2000s as part of the Vinex expansion of Berkel en Rodenrijs. This is evident in its layout: spacious plots, wide streets with green strips, and a mix of semi-detached and detached houses. There are also terraced houses, but they are clearly in the minority. The architecture is varied, without the monotony that characterises some Vinex districts.
The atmosphere in Vlinderstrik is quiet and green. The neighbourhood borders open polder land and has several water features and cycle routes within it. Families with children form the largest household group (210 households with children), and this is noticeable: schools are easily accessible by bike, there are playgrounds scattered throughout the neighbourhood, and the streets are safe for children. The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds (390 people), suggesting that many residents have lived in the neighbourhood for years and consciously choose to stay.
For daily shopping, residents rely on the nearby shopping centre in Berkel en Rodenrijs, within walking distance or a short bike ride. There you will find, among other things, an Albert Heijn and various other shops. Primary schools are located in the immediate vicinity, and for secondary education, pupils are usually directed to Bergschenhoek or Bleiswijk. Sports clubs are well represented in the municipality, with football and tennis clubs within cycling distance.
The accessibility of Vlinderstrik is one of its stronger points. The A12 and A13 are quickly reachable via the N209, meaning Rotterdam and The Hague are within twenty to twenty-five minutes by car. Meijersplein metro station on the RandstadRail line is a few kilometres away and offers a direct connection to Rotterdam Central in about twenty minutes. Bus services connect the neighbourhood with Berkel en Rodenrijs centre and surrounding towns.
Residents appreciate the peace, space and green surroundings. On the neighbourhood main page for Vlinderstrik you can read all resident reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "It's very quiet here and the neighbours know each other. You really feel like you live in a neighbourhood, not just a house." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited shopping facilities directly in the neighbourhood itself and the reliance on a car or bike for larger shopping trips.
Compared to sister neighbourhoods such as Toneelbuurt and Oudeland, Vlinderstrik is on average somewhat more spacious and expensive. Spoorhaven has a more urban profile with apartments closer to the station. Those looking for a detached home in a green, family-oriented environment are generally better off in Vlinderstrik than in the more densely built-up neighbourhoods of Rodenrijs.
