Many sporting opportunities

Fine, but the atmosphere is not always pleasant. I do notice that many initiatives are being taken to improve that.

Family-friendly green neighbourhood

Wonderfully quiet living here with Rijkerswoerdse plassen and Park Lingezegen within easy reach. Plenty of playgrounds, trees on the street and lots of green. Shops are nearby (10-15 minutes by bike/car). Quiet neighbours, lots of families too. Schools within walking distance, bus around the corner, station south 10 minutes by bike.
