Living in Burgerenk, Epe
Burgerenk is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the western side of the village of Epe, built up in the post-war decades. The neighbourhood consists mainly of single-family homes and porch flats from the 1960s and 1970s, built as social housing for working-class families who worked in and around Epe. That origin is still visible: the streets are laid out wide, there is plenty of greenery between the housing blocks, and the atmosphere is calm and orderly. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but it is one where people stay for a long time. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (335 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (255). This says something about the character: Burgerenk is an established neighbourhood with a stable, somewhat older population.
