Schaften: a small, quiet neighbourhood

Schaften is a tiny residential area with just over 200 residents. It's a mix of ages, with a noticeable share of older residents and a fair number of families. Most homes are apartments, and all were built after 2010. The neighbourhood feels calm and green, with a park just a couple of streets away. There are no resident reviews available, but the figures show a low crime rate and a strong sense of privacy. The Schaften neighbourhood is part of Houten Zuid-West, a district known for its modern housing and quiet streets.
