The neighbourhood Wester Eng has a mixed population, with many singles and couples. One resident describes it as a "Slum of Bussum South", adding: "Attempt at a cultural society will only work when the old generation of Bussumers lives in a retirement home.

For daily shopping, the Lidl is on your doorstep, just 47 metres away. A Dekamarkt is a couple of streets away.
