Quiet and village-like environment, nice people and also helpful. There's just not much here in the village. The plus, chip shop, kapsalon, a couple of cafes, nothing more.
Auto-translated to English by AILiving in Bocholtz for almost 30 years, but with each passing year, the village is declining. The municipality of Simpelveld always prioritises Simpelveld, despite Bocholtz being larger. Few to no new houses, 0 facilities apart from a neglected supermarket and some takeaway joints, greenery is poorly maintained and nothing is done about the decay of some neighbourhoods.
