Safe, but not spacious
The railway station is over fourteen kilometres away and still Zandevelt reaches an 8.5 for amenities. That is because the station accounts for only a sixth of the pillar while supermarket, GP and restaurant are all within six hundred metres. Daily life here happens within walking distance; the train is an outing in itself.
Where it really grates is quiet & nature, at a 2.6. Greenery in the surroundings comes out at half the Dutch middle and the tree canopy at even less — that is the price of an area where the land is used intensively. The 9.4 for families, by contrast, holds up on every count: a short distance to school, well over a third of households with children. And the safety pillar of 9.6 rests on all four offence types below the national median, burglary at a fraction of it. Zandevelt combines that with a density higher than you would expect in the Westland.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zandevelt a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Zandevelt comes out at 14 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is low: Zandevelt is among the 20% of Dutch neighbourhoods with the fewest recorded crimes. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Zandevelt?
In Zandevelt the police recorded 44 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (14 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.
How is the grade for Zandevelt calculated?
Zandevelt scores 9.3 as its total score. That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Zandevelt lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
