Peace and space

Quiet, friendly people, all amenities within 1 kilometre and nature around the corner. The bus to Utrecht, Wageningen or Veenendaal stops 4 times per hour 400 metres away. Great place to live.

Nice and quiet to live in

You can live there quietly with plenty of nature nearby. But there isn't much else to do; for that you really have to go out.

Quiet and peaceful

Nice village with many amenities, but if you really want to do something fun, you have to go to Veenendaal, Zeist or Utrecht. Otherwise, wonderfully quiet.
