How residents experience their municipality
Living here is fantastic. Beautiful, spacious and affordable apartment with 90m2 floor area. Indoor route to the supermarket. GP and the usual shops like Etos, Kruidvat, Bruna, Hema on the nearby square. Bus lines and main roads within 5 minutes. Also enough schools at every level. In short, "a place to be".

Auto-translated to English by AICosy flat with many elderly residents. A nice dog walking area that I look out onto. Also a beautiful park. However, too few shops, so little choice unfortunately. Only the park is not lit and there are regularly homeless people who also sleep in the bushes! The park is well maintained though. In short, I am very satisfied with the neighbourhood.
