Quiet but still very busy.

Since Action came here, it hasn't become any nicer. Sometimes you can't park your car near your own apartment. And the street lighting still hasn't been repaired, for 4 years now. I have more negative points but I'll leave it at that! If I get the chance, I won't stay here!!!

Quiet, tidy and safe

My experience with this neighbourhood is very good. I live here nice and quietly, and there is no nuisance. Furthermore, I am quickly in the centre of Ommen, which is also a big advantage.

Nice village community.

Pleasant living in Ommen with many activities within walking distance. In summer a bustling “town”.

Quiet green neighbourhood with a nice sense of community

It's a pleasant neighbourhood to live in, with lots of greenery and happy residents. With a bike you can get everywhere and you won't miss a thing. It feels safe, it's clean, and there's always something to do. And you're at the train station within 10 minutes.

Quiet neighbourhood for people who love nature and space on the edge of new development against the forest

Located between the sports park and the Ommerbos, a quiet corner in Ommen. 10 minutes by bike from the centre.

A very nice neighbourhood with friendly people where I definitely feel at home.

There's a cosy, relaxed atmosphere on our street. We're always welcome at each other's birthday parties and enjoy celebrating together, for example at New Year's or the annual neighbourhood BBQ. When we drive down the street, we always wave friendly to each other. In the neighbourhood, it's noticeable that it's always clean and tidy. I've had little experience with criminal activities. However, my mother's bike was stolen from the driveway a few years ago. So just lock it to be safe ;). That was about 10 years ago now. The distance to the city centre is about 2 km. Perfectly doable by bike if you want to have a drink in town. From our window, you look directly onto the Ommerbos. It's a great place to get some fresh air on a walk. You can live here just fine!
