Kortenbos is a lively central neighbourhood with a mix of old and new. With 7,880 residents, it is densely populated, 8,439 addresses per km², so you are never far from a café or shop. One resident sums it up: "Good and accessible, occasionally parking problems but that is to be expected for the centre. Furthermore, a neighbourhood with lots of greenery and generally communicative, friendly neighbours. Definitely recommended to live here."
