Who lives here

Demographically, Piet Mondriaanlaan e.o. is shaped by people in their late twenties to early forties (48% of its 240 residents), followed by 45-to-65 year olds at 25%. More than half of all households (60%) are single-person — this is a neighborhood of independents, not minivans. The average household counts 1.6 people.

Daily errands, coffee and dinner

Day to day: the nearest large supermarket is about 11 minutes' walk; dining out means a short trip: only 7 cafés or restaurants sit within a kilometer.

The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 17 min walk · GP 17 min · hospital 2.8 km · library 1.2 km · 2 cinemas within 5 km. None of these will decide a purchase on their own, but a GP taking new patients nearby is the kind of thing you only miss after moving.

Families and schools

For families: the nearest primary school is 16 minutes on foot; daycare is 1.1 km away — check waiting lists early, they are long everywhere in the Netherlands; secondary school is an 8-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.

Getting around

Getting around: the station is a 9-minute cycle, standard Dutch commuting range; the nearest highway on-ramp is 2.5 km away; and at 0.5 cars per household, most residents simply don't own one — if you do, factor in permit costs and waiting lists before you buy.

Energy and running costs

With 100% of homes built after 2000, insulation standards here are decent by default — but newer also means VvE service costs for apartments and less room to add value through renovation. Different math, not automatically better.
