Experiences from Steenwijkerland
How residents experience their municipality
De Woldmeenthe is a nice place to live. It is green, quiet and safe. All amenities are within walking or cycling distance. A very nice area to grow up in, with many playgrounds, cycle paths, greenery and water. There is no problem with litter and the greenery is well maintained. The streets are also wide and very clear.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy neighbourhood and a safe neighbourhood, we really enjoy living here!!
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience in this neighbourhood is that it is one of the safest neighbourhoods in the Steenwijk area, although there is slight nuisance from drug dealing and junkies who go into, for example, the park at the popular pond.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood to live in, people are very much to themselves. Few playgrounds that look decent for small children. Very good schools though. An Albert Heijn and a snack bar and the centre a 20-minute walk away... Bus facilities I personally don't find very convenient.
Auto-translated to English by AITuk is a quiet place. The people are friendly but also keep to themselves. The only downside is the park near the Karre, where many drunk young people hang around. There is also often litter there and there are no bins nearby. But that's really the only major drawback. Tuk has a playground made from natural materials, which is good. Furthermore, it is easily accessible and you can do quite a lot here. You can go bowling, play tennis, go to the gym, a chip shop/bar, and more. It's a nice neighbourhood for families because there is also a primary school nearby and a secondary school is a 15-minute bike ride away.
Auto-translated to English by AIWonderfully quiet living. No buses running at the weekends.
Auto-translated to English by AIBy bike you're straight into De Weerribben or the woods. Giethoorn easily accessible
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful neighbourhood, child-friendly. Small village but not far from the towns of Steenwijk and Wolvega: 6 km! Wooded area but also Giethoorn a 20-minute drive away. Cycle to the Weerribben or swim in De Linde near Wolvega! Living in the heart; Willemsoord!
