We never really do anything; I hardly know anyone myself. There are also very few children living here (mostly elderly people), so it also lacks that childish joy." Another adds: "I moved here 3 years ago, never had any complaints or trouble with neighbours. There are dog waste bags and bins everywhere, so it's quite clean. Nicely spacious layout, but the connection to Heerenveen is only via 2 roads, and 1 is full of bumps." Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores 8.88 out of 10.
