Everyone does their own thing and there is little complaining. Furthermore, there is little sense of community. The housing association does too little about complaints about homes. And the streets are laid out illogically. Lots of one-way traffic, you have to drive around everywhere, and there is an intersection that is designed to cause as many problems as possible.
Auto-translated to English by AIScary things still happen sometimes. Children experiencing attempted kidnapping. Recently had to pull someone from a burning car in front of the door. It's a quiet village, but when problems arise, many neighbours are ready to help. I enjoy living in this nature-rich village.

About Ruijsdaelstraat 44, Millingen Aan De Rijn
The asking price is 48% above the neighbourhood average of €464,833, making it the most expensive home currently for sale in Millingen aan de Rijn-Oost. However, with 192 m² of living space, 50% larger than the local average, and a plot of 598 m², the price per square metre (€3,589) is actually close to the neighbourhood average of €3,608. The historic character (built in 1702) also adds value that isn't captured by averages.
