The Buitengebied Oostwaard neighbourhood
Buitengebied Oostwaard is a rural area with very few homes, just 23 in total, and a strong sense of seclusion. Most households are families with children, and the average household size is 3.4 people. It is a quiet, green environment where you will find little traffic and plenty of privacy. There are no resident reviews available, so the picture comes from the statistics: a small, family-oriented community. For more context, see the Buitengebied Oostwaard neighbourhood.
Life on the street
Daily errands require a drive: the nearest supermarket, Jumbo, is about three kilometres away, and the Coop is just under four kilometres. For primary education, RK Basisschool De Bolderik and Kanjerschool De Wilgenhoek are both around three kilometres from the home. The area is car-dependent, but the tranquillity and space more than compensate. For a broader view of the surroundings, check the municipality of Altena.

Experiences from Werkendam
How residents experience their district
The neighbourhood is a backstreet and working-class area and ordinary people, gossip and backbiting are part of it; if they have nothing to tell / know about you, they'll make it up. Unreliable too, they say one thing to you and to someone else they say the opposite. If they're from the church, you have two types: one type you can 100% rely on and trust, the other type puts on a nice face and tries to pull the wool over your eyes, and they've had neighbours and friends write positive reviews on Google and co. You're on your own here, and only when they can profit from you are they sweet and kind.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood. Super central. And the neighbours are good too.
Auto-translated to English by AIWhat we notice is that there isn't really any contact between neighbours in the area, many people simply don't know each other. Other than that, it's a quiet neighbourhood!

How residents experience their municipality
A quiet neighbourhood with an active neighbourhood association. Mainly elderly residents and families.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful neighbourhood, quiet but with super friendly people, really gives you that village feel. Sometimes a bit remote and quite a drive to the motorway, though all essentials are nearby. Beautiful along the Maas for lovely boating.

Auto-translated to English by AIThere have been some thefts at our apartment complex, so I don't really feel safe. The people around us are generally nice, but there are a few bad apples.
