Living in Kesteren, Neder-Betuwe

Kesteren is a village in the Betuwe with a distinctly green and quiet character. The neighbourhood has over 4,700 residents and feels like a classic Betuwe core: spacious plots, plenty of greenery in the streets, and a mix of post-war homes and later expansions. The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds, but families with children are also well represented. This is reflected in the layout of the neighbourhood: there are playgrounds, a football field in the district, and a calmer living environment suitable for growing up and coming home.

Resident Peerke Peters describes it as follows: "Quiet neighbourhood with a nice orchard and football field on the street." This image matches the neighbourhood score of 7.8 out of 10, with safety (8.5) and accessibility (9.0) scoring highest. The attractiveness of public spaces scores lower (6.5), indicating that the neighbourhood is functional but not uniformly well-maintained.

Facilities in Kesteren

Kesteren has a limited but functional level of facilities for a village of this size. There are primary schools in or directly near the core, which explains the high education score (9.0).

Accessibility of Kesteren
