Verspreide huizen Grote Veld, Bronckhorst
Tucked away on a quiet lane outside the built-up area, this detached house from 1928 sits right at the forest edge with open views over the countryside.

How residents experience their district
There is little to do in the neighbourhood; many things are at least in Zutphen or further away. The neighbourhood itself has many older people on crappy e-bikes who want to see the castles.
Auto-translated to English by AIeveryone knows each other and is there for each other. the village has many amenities, schools, various supermarkets and drugstores. unfortunately, because there is a lot of ageing, there are fewer amenities for young people, such as a nightlife centre

How residents experience their municipality
I've been living in Velswijk for about 6 years now. I think it's a very cosy neighbourhood. We have many fun events and the people are also super friendly. I'm very satisfied here.
Auto-translated to English by AI18 weeks in hospital with cancer, just one card received. Flowers, what are those? It still rankles me. We thought it would be so nice to live in a small place. What a letdown.
Auto-translated to English by AIOverall a neat, quiet neighbourhood with friendly people who greet each other and help each other when needed. Hygiene is a minor issue; for a few months now you encounter rats, never seen before that.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's wonderful living here, but there are no facilities like a supermarket or a bakery, etc. There is a primary school and a community centre. And a snack bar at the weekend. But the people are very friendly and there is still a sense of neighbourliness here.
Auto-translated to English by AINoaberschap only applies if you don't complain and drink a lot.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for a very long time, and everyone here is incredibly kind and sociable. At the village festivals you talk to everyone, and more people know you than the other way around, and the atmosphere is so good. We live very nicely, big garden, a road where no one ever drives, but it is a walking path so sometimes people with dogs come by that we can cuddle with! If something strange is going on, the whole neighbourhood knows within half an hour. That makes me feel safe here, everyone always knows what's going on. We have enough amenities, there are many farms and livestock keepers here so we lack nothing, even though the nearest supermarket is 7 km away, I've never heard anyone complain about it. At café restaurant "den bremer" everyone gathers. Here we eat, drink, have parties, host the fair and much more. Den bremer is truly the centre of our neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AII think I live in a very nice neighbourhood, and there is a very good community. The only downside to this place is the accessibility. I'm a student who still lives at home and I use public transport a lot, but the bus stops (and certainly stations) are far away from me. Without a car, it's quite difficult to get far. I hope that in the future there will be more bus stops in the area and that the connections will improve.
