Living in Wijk 04: a quiet neighbourhood with its own character
Wijk 04 lies on the other side of the bridge, as one resident aptly describes: "The other side, or the other side of the village that Waddinxveen once was. Over the bridge, the other side." That location largely determines the character of the neighbourhood. It is a somewhat older neighbourhood, with few young families but a stable community of mainly over-45s. On the neighbourhood page of Wijk 04 you will find all resident reviews and neighbourhood data together. The average resident score is 7.8 out of 10, with notably high marks for safety (8.5), accessibility (8.2) and education (8.3). Resident Noah Schoonderwoerd describes it as: "Great neighbourhood, little crime. The neighbourhood is fine with each other but there is little that is organised by the neighbourhood. Good atmosphere and good appearance." Not everyone is equally enthusiastic: another resident notes that the neighbourhood is declining and that while maintenance of homes is taking place, the overall quality is under pressure. To be fair: that is something to consider if you are thinking of buying a home in this neighbourhood.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is modestly equipped. There is no supermarket directly in the neighbourhood, no bus stop for public transport and no park in the immediate vicinity, as one resident soberly notes. There is a playground association, which can be a plus for families with young children. For daily groceries and shops, you rely on the centre of Waddinxveen, which is within cycling distance. Accessibility by car scores well: the A12 and A20 are quickly reachable via the N207, which appeals to commuters to Rotterdam, The Hague or Gouda. Station Waddinxveen and station Waddinxveen-Noord offer train connections towards Gouda and Rotterdam. Amenities score a 7.0 among residents, which is realistic for a neighbourhood without its own shopping street.
The neighbourhood borders several districts each with their own atmosphere. The Oostpolderwijk and the Zeeheldenbuurt are nearby and sometimes offer a wider range of homes. Also Oost and 't Weegje are worth a look if you are orienting towards buying in Wijk 04 or the immediate area. More information about the municipality can be found on the official website of the municipality of Waddinxveen.
For which buyers is buying a home in Wijk 04 interesting?
Living in Wijk 04 best suits movers and over-45s who value peace and safety over a bustling range of amenities. The average selling price of over €544,000 makes this not a starter neighbourhood, although the lower end of the market from around €280,000 still offers entry opportunities. Keep in mind additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters) and notary costs. The supply is limited: 44 homes were sold last year, so quick action pays off. If you prefer to rent first, you can look at the rental homes in Wijk 04 as an alternative to get to know the neighbourhood better.

The neighbourhood used to be a very nice neighbourhood, but an awful lot has changed. Maintenance work is being carried out on the houses at the moment, but unfortunately the neighbourhood is deteriorating more and more. Decline is noticeable in all sorts of ways.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe other side, i.e. the other side of the village that Waddinxveen used to be. Across the bridge... so the other side. No shop, no public transport stop, no park, no school. Now the latter is not necessary in this old little neighbourhood with few young families. There is a playground (association). So a bit of the forgotten side of Waddinxveen.
