Neighbourhood committees, playgrounds and a beer with the neighbours: this is what Elburg feels like

These are not marketing figures, but what residents themselves fill in. And those experiences are remarkably concrete. Veronique writes about her street: "Cosy neighbourhood, looks out for each other, a chat or a beer always welcome." She refers to the neighbourhood committee BC Hellenbeek, which regularly organises activities such as a neighbourhood BBQ or bouncy castles for the children. A playground and football pitch are literally on the doorstep. In a second review, she adds: "Borrowing something or needing help is no problem at all in our street." That is not coincidence or luck; it is a neighbourhood culture that is actively maintained.

Renting in Elburg: for families and established renters, less so for starters

Families with children find plenty here: playgrounds, schools, an active neighbourhood community. For starters or young people looking to rent a home quickly and affordably in Elburg, it is more difficult. The private rental supply is thin and prices are high.
