Varik, West Betuwe
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Kerkstraat in Varik sits on a generous plot of 1660 m². The listing does not state an energy label.

Varik is a small village with about 980 residents, mostly families and couples. One resident says: "Since the merger with Geldermalsen, the municipality of Neerijnen has put its villages and residents up for sale. If you look at, for example, the maintenance of green spaces in the old municipality of Neerijnen, and now in West Betuwe, you can see the difference, where the border stops at the old municipality of Geldermalsen." The review reflects a sense of neglect in the old Neerijnen area. The Varik neighbourhood has a quiet, rural character with low address density.
For daily groceries, the nearest supermarket is a PLUS about 4 km away, with a Jumbo and another PLUS within 5 km. The closest primary school is Burgemeester Westerbeek van Eertenschool, about 1 km away, and there are several other primary schools within a few kilometres. A restaurant is just under a kilometre away. The village is part of the municipality of West Betuwe, which covers a wide rural area.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Agrivesta - Makelaardij en Onteigening and Agrivesta Stap, makelaars & rentmeesters.

Since the merger with Geldermalsen, the municipality of Neerijnen has put its villages and residents up for sale. If you look at, for example, the maintenance of green spaces in the old municipality of Neerijnen, and now in West Betuwe, you can see the difference, where the border stops at the old municipality of Geldermalsen. When you drive into/arrive in Geldermalsen, you see a difference compared to outside the village centre of Geldermalsen. For example, ice control: if you drive on the new back road in Est, it can be as slippery as ice. As soon as you reach the roundabout at Bommelsestraat, no expense or effort has been spared to clear it. The merger has not brought any progress to the residents of the old municipality of Neerijnen. Let alone that this new municipality still has or seeks contact with its residents. The municipality must seek out the citizens more and see how they can be there for the citizen. For example, set up a fixed drop-in hour or a monthly evening meeting to get closer to the citizen.
