Living in Zuidbroek, Wierden

Zuidbroek is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the southern edge of the core of Wierden.

What residents say

One resident writes: "It's wonderfully quiet here, the children can play outside and the neighbours know each other. You can tell that people have consciously chosen this neighbourhood." Points of attention that come up are the limited walking distance to facilities and the dependence on the car for larger shopping trips or public transport.
