Describing who lives in Aalten-kern Zuid 1 quickly leads to words like quiet, orderly and socially engaged. This is not a neighbourhood where you remain anonymous.

The buildings mostly date from the 1970s and 1980s, with a mix of semi-detached houses, terraced houses and detached homes.

At the same time, there are also families with children: households with children form the largest household group. This mix creates a neighbourhood that feels both active and quiet, depending on the street.
