Living in Veld Oost, Oost Gelre

Veld Oost is a quiet, largely residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of Lichtenvoorde, the main village of the municipality of Oost Gelre.

The streets are spacious, there is relatively a lot of greenery in the immediate vicinity, and it feels peaceful. This particularly attracts families and middle-aged people, which is also reflected in the figures: the largest age group is 45 to 65, followed by 25 to 45-year-olds. Over 43% of households are married, and single-person households and couples without children are the most common household compositions.

On the Veld Oost neighbourhood page you can read what residents themselves say about living in this neighbourhood.
