Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood. Primary school, secondary school, Jumbo and the chip shop nearby. Furthermore, many playgrounds for the kids. All neighbours greet each other. The village is a 10-minute bike ride away. In the village you have many shopping options. For me a very nice neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood with generally nice people. A fifteen-minute walk from the train station and a direct bus to Arnhem or Nijmegen stops here. Jumbo nearby, unfortunately the only option for a quick grocery run. In my opinion, too many children in the area who make a lot of noise around school times, also at 7:00 in the morning with their parents present.
