A home with history on het Kanaal

This home has not been online since 8 September 2026.
De Lariks Oost: quiet but limited
De Lariks Oost is a compact neighbourhood with 1,320 residents, many of them older, nearly half are 65 or over. It's a quiet area, but one resident calls it "boring": "There's nothing in this neighbourhood. Everything is gone. Have to go to other districts for activities, etc." The neighbourhood has a high address density (2,537 per km²), so it feels urban. Based on one review, it's a place for peace and quiet, not for a lively social scene. The De Lariks Oost neighbourhood is mostly post-war housing, all built between 1945 and 1970.
