Living in Wijk 00: quiet family neighbourhood with the centre within walking distance
Wijk 00 is essentially the heart of Montfoort, the historic fortified town on the Hollandsche IJssel. Living in Wijk 00 means living in a neighbourhood that is quiet, but where you can walk to the city centre with its characteristic canals and old city wall. Residents give the neighbourhood a 6.7 out of 10 based on reviews on Buurtje.nl. Safety (8.5) and the appearance of the neighbourhood (8.0) score notably high, while community spirit (5.0) and the housing supply (3.0) are clearly less appreciated. One resident aptly describes it: "It's a nice, cosy neighbourhood where you can live well. Centre within walking distance. Housing is a big problem, there are hardly any houses and when they are available, they are unaffordable." Another resident, Marianne, puts it honestly into perspective: she finds it too quiet as someone from Amsterdam, but suspects that those who grew up here actually love it. More experiences from residents can be found on the Wijk 00 neighbourhood page with all scores and reviews.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is reasonably self-sufficient for a small town. In the centre you will find a supermarket, a handful of specialist shops and catering establishments. Schools score well in resident reviews (8.0): primary schools are present in and around the neighbourhood, and for secondary education, students rely on Montfoort itself or nearby places such as IJsselstein and Woerden. Sports clubs are active in the municipality, with football, tennis and swimming as common options. The Montfoort neighbourhood forms the historic core, while Tabakshof en Heeswijk are slightly quieter residential areas within the same district.
Accessibility is reasonable but requires some adjustment. Montfoort does not have its own train station; the nearest station is Woerden (about 10 minutes by car), from where you can quickly reach Utrecht Centraal. By bus, there is a connection towards IJsselstein and Gouda, but the frequency is limited, so a car is not a luxury for most residents. Via the N228 and N204 you are quickly on the A12 and A2. For those who work in the Randstad and are looking for a quieter living environment without being too far from the city, this is a realistic alternative. Also compare the surrounding neighbourhoods Linschoten and Willeskop if you want a broader picture of the supply in the municipality.
For which buyers is Wijk 00 a good choice?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts families and people aged 45 to 65, which is also visible in the demographic composition. Starters have a hard time: the supply is limited and prices start at around €310,000, with an average that continues to rise significantly. When purchasing, also factor in additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters) and notary fees. Overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. Is buying too big a step at the moment? Then also check the rental homes in Wijk 00 as an intermediate solution. Movers and people seeking peace and quiet close to the Randstad fit well with what this neighbourhood has to offer.
