Living in Baarle-Nassau: peace, greenery and a unique border
Baarle-Nassau is not an ordinary village. It is a municipality literally intertwined with the Belgian enclave of Baarle-Hertog, with border markers in the middle of the pavement and shops that lie in two countries at once. But those looking for a home to buy here are mainly drawn by the peace, space and green surroundings. On Buurtje.nl, residents give the neighbourhood a 7.9 out of 10, with notably high scores for safety (9.0) and greenery (8.5). Resident A. van Dijk describes it aptly: "It is so incredibly peaceful living here, wonderful." He lives in Woonpark de Grens, a former monastery converted into apartments, surrounded by a spacious park with large trees. That park is not the only green spot: in other parts of the neighbourhood, such as around the rural area, nature is also immediately present. On the neighbourhood page of Baarle-Nassau you will find all resident reviews and sub-scores in one place.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores a 7.2. That is not high, but residents themselves put it into perspective. Sterre writes: "The amenities such as school, shops etc. are all found outside the neighbourhood, but never far away. For example, the supermarket is a 5-minute bike ride." In the centre area you will find daily groceries, a number of catering establishments and shops that benefit from the border location with attractive excise prices. There are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, although education scores a 7.3, not its strongest point. For secondary education and larger amenities, you rely on Tilburg or Turnhout. Jort mentions a gym and sports club for football and hockey within walking distance, which is a plus for families. Neighbourhoods such as Hoogbraak and Loveren are quiet but have that same short bike ride to the centre.
Accessibility scores an 8.2. Baarle-Nassau has no train station, but is easily accessible by car via the N260 towards Tilburg, about 25 kilometres away. By car, you are in the centre of Tilburg in about 25 to 30 minutes. Towards Belgium, Turnhout is nearby. Bus services run but are limited in frequency, so a car is practically indispensable. The municipality has more information about local amenities and accessibility on the website of the municipality of Baarle-Nassau.

Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is very quiet and easy to reach. When I grew up here, we always played carefree in the street. Facilities such as school, shops, etc. are all located outside the neighbourhood, but never far away. For example, the supermarket is a 5-minute bike ride. There is little contact among the residents. Every week the municipality prunes and keeps everything tidy. This is a fine neighbourhood, with houses from the 1970s, which can be a bit outdated but are still perfectly liveable.
