Living in Trekkersveld, Zeewolde
Trekkersveld is not an average residential neighbourhood. With only 70 residents and 28 homes, it is one of the smallest neighbourhoods in Zeewolde, and you can tell. The neighbourhood has a rural, almost agricultural character, which makes sense given its name: Trekkersveld refers to the open polder landscape surrounding the municipality of Zeewolde. It is not a neighbourhood with busy shopping streets or high-rise apartment blocks, but a quiet enclave where space and tranquillity are central.
The homes are predominantly spacious, which is also evident from the average rented area of 269 m². These are not apartments but detached or semi-detached houses, fitting the character of the area. Zeewolde as a whole is a relatively young city, built on the Flevopolder, and Trekkersveld also has that polder-like, planned character. Streets are straight, there is plenty of greenery, and the open horizon is never far away.
