Living in Bornerbroek: green, quiet and clearly outside the city

Bornerbroek is a small village on the southern edge of the municipality of Almelo, nestled between agricultural land and the Overijssel coulissen landscapes. Those who live here consciously choose peace and space. The buildings are scattered, the streets are wide and the gardens are large. That is exactly what residents appreciate. On the Bornerbroek neighbourhood page, residents indicate that the peace and green surroundings are the biggest plus points. One resident writes that it feels like you live outside the world, yet Almelo is only a quarter of an hour's drive away. That is the core of the appeal here.

Facilities are limited, that is honestly also a characteristic of this village. A primary school is present in the core, as is a community centre and a football club. For daily groceries you drive to Almelo or Bornerbroek has a small neighbourhood shop, but you won't find a full supermarket in the village itself. The Bornerbroek Kern has most facilities concentrated, while the scattered houses in district 21 are even more rural in character. Those with children who drive to school, sports and activities daily must reckon with car dependency.

In terms of accessibility, the car is indispensable. Bornerbroek lies directly on the N35, the connecting road between Almelo and Nijverdal, which makes the connection to the A1 and A35 relatively quick. Almelo station is about a ten-minute drive away. Bus connections exist but are limited in frequency. Those who want to travel by public transport daily will experience this as a disadvantage. For those who work from home or are flexible in terms of mobility, the location is actually an advantage: little traffic, quick access to the motorway. Similar neighbourhoods that are slightly more urban but still spacious can be found in Wierdense Hoek or Sluitersveld. Those seeking more urbanity can also look at the Noorderkwartier.
