Buying a home in Zuidzijde, Bodegraven.
Zuidzijde is where you'll find quiet residential streets lined mostly with 1970s and 1980s homes, many with more space than you'd get closer to the centre. You're within walking distance of the water and green edges, and it feels less busy than the village core. Your neighbours tend to be families and longer-term owners who've settled in. Bodegraven itself is small enough to feel manageable, but large enough that you won't know everyone.

What does Zuidzijde offer?
Bodegraven is a village where your neighbours are actual neighbours, not just people in the same postcode. Most homes date from the 1930s through 1970s, with decent gardens and room to breathe. If you need to commute, you're well-placed: twenty minutes by train to Utrecht Central, with direct connections. The Nieuwkoopse Lakes are a short bike ride away, so water and open space aren't a promise in the brochure—they're genuinely there.
