Very antisocial next to me.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful neighbourhood, lots of greenery, much too fast driving by all traffic, the maximum speed is only 30 km/h and is hugely exceeded in some places. Behind houses, 3 cars regularly come a few times a week and according to residents, drugs are traded, judging by the packaging left behind. Children play there, but the police do not check despite various reports and video footage that have been offered to the police.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood looks good with various beautiful and nice houses. The number of playing children is increasing, but for them it is very unsafe because the through road Viergang, where a maximum speed of 30 km/h applies, is used as a racetrack by cars, trucks and mopeds. Sometimes there is an electronic speed display, where very often speeds that the user considers normal, such as 60 to even 90 km per hour, are achieved. I have observed this myself when I monitored the speed registration for a while, but no results of the registration findings ever come out. I have often complained about this, but to no avail. My preference is therefore to put many more stickers and signs along and on the road and more higher speed bumps. Also on various remote parking lots behind residential blocks, we have various cars gathering in the evening hours between 10:00 PM and 12:00 AM on Tuesdays and Fridays, and we see on camera that multiple people get into one car and later disappear in all directions, and this happens every week. We have reported this to the police, but as far as we know, nothing has ever been checked about what the youth are up to there. We as a neighbourhood find this worrying. All in all, we hope that the situation on the Viergang improves and that speed-limiting actions are taken, as well as checking what the youngsters are up to on the parking lots.

About Watermolen 5, Mijdrecht
The asking price of €695,000 is in line with the market for a mid-terrace house of this size in Molenland. The 117 m² floor area and 267 m² plot are typical for the area, and the energy label B adds to its appeal. Without comparable sales data, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced compared to similar listings.
Molenland is a green, family-oriented neighbourhood with mostly single-family homes. Residents praise the greenery and well-maintained houses, but there are concerns about speeding cars on the Viergang and drug-related activity on some parking lots. The area has a moderate urban feel, with a mix of ages and household types.
The nearest train station is 12 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a car or bus to reach it. The area is more car-dependent for longer journeys.

Albert Heijn is 815 m away, Boni is 998 m, and Lidl and Aldi are both about 1.1 km. Hoogvliet is 1.1 km as well. So daily groceries are easily accessible on foot or by bike.
