For secondary education, Sint-Maartenscollege is 3.2 kilometres away, and Gymnasium Novum is a similar distance.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 1.2 kilometres from the apartment. That is roughly a fifteen-minute walk or a short bike ride, making it straightforward to get around the city and beyond.

Zuidwal is a very central, busy area. Residents mention it is "very centrally located in the shopping district and easily accessible by public transport or bike," with a park and forests within walking distance.
