Living in Tricht, West Betuwe
Tricht is a compact, rural village in the heart of the Betuwe, located in the municipality of West Betuwe. The village has around 1,770 inhabitants and has a distinct village character: ribbon development along the Lingedijk, detached homes and semi-detached houses bordering the open river landscape. The buildings largely date from the post-war period, supplemented by later expansions and occasional new construction. It is not a neighbourhood for those seeking the city, but for those who value peace, space and greenery.
The population composition confirms this picture: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old (545 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (385 people). Young families and starters are relatively underrepresented. Almost half of the residents are married (48%), and households without children form the largest category. Tricht is thus typically a neighbourhood for people who consciously choose peace and a close-knit village community.
Facilities in Tricht
Tricht has a modest level of facilities, which is appropriate for a village of this size. For daily groceries, you rely on the nearby centre of Buurmalsen or Geldermalsen, a few kilometres away. There is no supermarket in Tricht itself. Primary school De Springplank serves the youngest residents of the village. In terms of sports, football club SV Tricht is an anchor point in village life, with fields on the edge of the village. The open river landscape along the Linge offers plenty of opportunities for walking and cycling. For more extensive shops, hospitality and care, you head to Geldermalsen, the commercial centre of the municipality.

Parking is not a problem in Tricht; there is no permit system and there is sufficient space on private property or along the road.
Residents particularly appreciate Tricht for its peace and social cohesion. On the neighbourhood page of Tricht you can read what residents themselves say about living here.
