Not bad at all!!!Relat

Relatively quiet, great diversity of residents. Close to (almost) everything, and certainly easily accessible. The municipality takes good care of things, though sometimes it doesn't seem that way, but that's due to people from outside; it could have been worse. Here and there the pavements could do with repair, which "seems" to be going a bit slowly. Actually, not much to complain about. Lots of extra facilities for the elderly, help and entertainment, neighbourhoods also do a lot together. All in all, a lovely place to live here....

"Great living in Zielhorst"

We have been living in Zielhorst for more than 25 years, we came from a busy neighbourhood (Soesterkwartier) and the peace we found here is almost the same, just lovely. Friendly people and often a good mix of young and old, and different nationalities. Everyone helps each other where needed, which you really don't come across everywhere anymore. The housing association Omnia is also just great, all those people are skilled and TRULY customer-friendly, always (usually) quick to respond to questions etc. A lot is done to keep our neighbourhood clean and most people are aware that they themselves can/must also contribute enough. Never really experienced anything unpleasant in all the years we have lived here. Plenty of primary and secondary education. Plenty of bus services too, and of course Zielhorst station which will be modernised/expanded in the near future. Zielhorst a place to never leave again. John Coert

Nice, cosy neighbourhood

It's a beautiful neighbourhood, the only downsides for me are actually the trees along the Olifantvlinder/Atlasvlinder because of the large thorns.
