Living in Nieuw-Steyl, Venlo
Nieuw-Steyl is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood on the edge of the Meuse, located in the south of Venlo, close to the border with Germany.

You will find terraced houses, semi-detached houses and apartment blocks, interspersed with some greenery and quiet streets. The buildings are functional and sober, not spectacular, but the neighbourhood exudes a certain tranquillity that many residents appreciate.
