I still live with my parents. This neighbourhood is quite quiet, never any problems here, but lots of interaction with everyone! Walking distance from the village. Nice neighbourhood for elderly and young people. I do think there should be more small or large playgrounds for children! But really a nice neighbourhood for young and old! Close to the Lageveld where you can swim in summer and also have a nice picnic and walk. Beautiful area, the municipality keeps it tidy!
