Edeseweg 54, Bennekom
Very good · 3 residents
It is a cosy neighbourhood in itself. There are many amenities such as nice playgrounds, football pitches, primary schools, shops and more. These places are always lively, but there are many elderly people who are good at complaining. There is no community centre or anything to bring people together, so you don't really have much interaction.
