Chic houses, lots of nature and a neighbourhood that looks out for you: this is how residents live in Doorn
Doorn scores an 8.7 out of 10 based on resident experiences on Buurtje.nl. That is a high score, and if you look at the sub-scores, you understand why: accessibility and sense of community both get a 9.0. Resident Boris sums it up succinctly: "They are chic houses with lots of nature around them. In addition, you can get anywhere within a maximum 15-minute bike ride. Very pleasant here." That combination of greenery and accessibility is precisely what distinguishes Doorn from many other villages in the region.
The village has a compact but complete centre around the Dorpsstraat, where you will find supermarkets, a pharmacy, GPs and various shops. For those with children, there are primary schools and a secondary school nearby. Education therefore scores an 8.8. Resident Hidde describes the adjacent green space as "a large park with a beautiful lake and well-maintained", and that is correct: the Kaapse Bossen and Hydepark estate are within walking distance. If you want a rental home in a green environment, then the neighbourhood Kaapse Bossen is worth a look, while in the centre you are closer to amenities.
Yet it is not all roses. Resident Su gives a 7.0 and points to waste problems, bicycle theft and an unsafe feeling at night. "Bicycles are stolen very often, I have lost 4 already," she writes. This nuances the safety score of 8.5. Especially in the dark months, it can be quiet and dark in the wooded neighbourhoods such as Boswijk and Hydepark-Moleneind. Invest in a good bike lock and check the lighting on your street. Read more resident experiences on the neighbourhood page of Doorn, where all reviews and neighbourhood statistics are collected.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is cosy and people look out for each other, but I do think there is a lot of rubbish lying outside and that animals then plunder it, making the streets dirty. Also, I don't always feel very safe at night. Furthermore, bikes are stolen very often, which I think is a shame; I've already lost 4 this year. There are plenty of amenities and you can find everything. I might have preferred more green spaces, but also more housing, so that's a trade-off you have to make.
