Residents appreciate the peace and social cohesion. One person described it as: "You really know your neighbours here, that's unthinkable in a larger city."

Daily amenities such as supermarkets and schools are not within walking distance; for that you rely on nearby Tubbergen or surrounding villages. If you don't have a car, you will notice that.
The neighbourhood consists of a core and scattered buildings in the rural area. Most residents live together in Harbrinkhoek kern, while the scattered houses Harbrinkhoek are more isolated, surrounded by agricultural land. The latter attracts people who really want to get away from the hustle and bustle, but it is not for everyone. The labour participation rate of 74% and an average income of €33,200 paint a picture of a working middle-class community firmly rooted in the region. Renting in Harbrinkhoek fits that picture: no anonymity, but involvement.
