Living in Borne: Twents, involved and surprisingly complete
Residents of the Borne district rate their neighbourhood an 8.2 on Buurtje.nl, and if you look at the sub-scores, it's clear where the strengths lie. Education scores a striking 9.2, safety an 8.7 and the green environment an 8.5. Resident Jurre sums it up as "well sorted" and calls it "a cosy quiet neighbourhood, but certainly not boring." You recognise that combination of peace and liveliness when you walk through the centre.

In terms of accessibility, Borne is conveniently located. Borne Station is on the Twente line and takes you to Hengelo in ten minutes and to Almelo in a quarter of an hour. Towards Enschede, you're there by train in about twenty minutes. By car, you take the A1 or A35, both just a few minutes away. Bus lines connect the centre with surrounding villages. Resident Rayvano, who partly grew up here, says: "Nice people and everything a short distance from home." That's right.

Sports club BVV Borne and tennis club Bornse Lawn are active and accessible.
The neighbourhoods within Borne each have their own character. In the centre you'll find older characteristic buildings, while Bornsche Maten is a modern new-build district with young families and spacious plots. If you're looking for something in an established residential area, Lettersveld I and Stroom-Esch are worth a look. The green environment is a clear plus: the Bornse Bos and Weleveld estate are within walking distance, and the coulisse landscape around the rural area makes cycling and walking here more than just a stroll. The municipality invests in sustainability and liveability, more information about this can be found on the website of the municipality of Borne. What residents appreciate less: facilities score the lowest at 6.4. You notice this especially in the evenings; there is no large hospitality offering and for a cinema or theatre you go to Hengelo.
