Living in Braamt, Montferland
Braamt is a small, quiet village on the edge of the Montferland bocage landscape, nestled between the Montferland hill ridge and the outskirts towards the Gelderse Achterhoek. With 695 inhabitants, it is not a neighbourhood in an urban sense, but a true village community where everyone knows each other. The atmosphere is rural and subdued. You drive past meadows, small farms and lanes with old oaks. Braamt has no shopping centre, no supermarket on the corner and no bustling nightlife. That is precisely what many residents appreciate here, and at the same time the reason why it is not suitable for everyone.
The housing stock mainly consists of ground-level homes, terraced houses and detached houses. Some of the rental properties are owned by housing associations, spread throughout the village centre. New-build apartments or multi-storey buildings are hardly present. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Braamt will find that the supply is extremely limited.
