Living in Malden-West, Heumen
Malden-West is a quiet, predominantly green residential neighbourhood on the western side of the village of Malden, in the municipality of Heumen. The neighbourhood has a clear post-war character: many of the homes date from the 1960s and 1970s and mainly consist of ground-floor terraced houses and semi-detached houses. There are also some porch flats from that period, particularly in the social housing sector. The atmosphere is quiet and village-like, with wide streets, plenty of greenery in the immediate vicinity, and a predominantly adult population. The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds (over 1,000 of the 3,410 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over. This gives the neighbourhood a certain stability and calm, but it also means it is quite quiet in the evenings and at weekends.

It's quite quiet here. We have a small shopping centre but you can find almost everything you need. It's not far from the city and the transport is also optimal for such a small village.

Auto-translated to English by AIToo much buzzing here in a place where children play. Too much litter that also doesn't get cleaned up. Below, rental homes meant for families are too often given to single people. And families living above are left there and aren't offered the downstairs homes as a swap..
