For school runs, Katholieke Basisschool Laurentius is on your doorstep, and Dr. De Visserschool is just around the corner. The municipality Breda has plenty of secondary schools too, with Curio de rotonde about a ten-minute walk away.

I haven't been living here very long, about six months I think, but I immediately felt at home. The Mastbos is literally around the corner for a lovely walk, as is the Ginniken square for nice restaurants and cafés. The Albert Heijn is a 5-minute bike ride or a 15-minute walk. The station is a 15-20 minute bike ride. There are many large, beautiful houses to admire here, the atmosphere feels very village-like, and it's all very lovely. It also feels safe.
