Noaberschap and nature: what it feels like to live here
Hummelo en Keppel is not a neighbourhood you choose because it is convenient. You choose it because you are looking for peace, space and a sense of community. The neighbourhood page of Hummelo en Keppel shows a resident score of 7.6 out of 10, based on resident reviews. Safety (10.0), community (9.0), green spaces (9.0) and beauty (9.0) score notably high. That picture matches what residents write. Sm van Breukelen describes it as "a quiet, friendly, easy-going village" and adds: "the people are very friendly and there is still noaberschap here." That old Achterhoek concept, where neighbours look after each other, is not a cliché here but daily practice.
The downside is equally honest: amenities score a 5.0 and accessibility a 6.0. There is no supermarket, no bakery, no pharmacy within walking distance. The same resident writes: "it is wonderful living here, only there are no amenities like a supermarket or a bakery." There is a primary school, a community centre and a snack bar at weekends, but for daily shopping you are dependent on the car. Anyone used to having everything around the corner must let go of that expectation.
The neighbourhood consists of several cores and hamlets. So you can rent a home in Hummelo or in the slightly larger Hoog-Keppel, but also in smaller hamlets such as Drempt or the rural Laag-Keppel. Each hamlet has its own character, but the common thread is the same everywhere: open landscape, little traffic and people who know each other. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, followed by those aged 65 and over. That says something about the pace and atmosphere of the neighbourhood. Rental homes in Hummelo en Keppel are therefore best suited to people who consciously choose this kind of peace.
