What the neighbourhood is like
Vliegende Vennen is a residential area with a mix of families and older residents. Around 73% of homes are owner-occupied, and the streets are quiet. The one review available gives a mixed picture: a resident says, "The people in the neighbourhood are people who only think about themselves and don't think about the people around them." That is a single voice, so it may not reflect the general feel. The area has a moderate urbanity level, not too busy, not too remote. For more on the area, see the Vliegende Vennen neighbourhood.
