Living in Bornsche Maten, Borne

Bornsche Maten is a relatively young expansion neighbourhood on the eastern side of Borne, largely developed from the early 2000s. You notice it in everything: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, spacious plots and a planned layout with water features and play areas deliberately incorporated into the design. The neighbourhood has no historic centre or old buildings, but that is precisely what many residents are looking for here. It is quiet, orderly and green, without feeling remote.

The housing types are predominantly detached houses, semi-detached homes and larger terraced houses. Apartments are hardly present in this part of Borne, which distinguishes the neighbourhood from, for example, Borne Centrum, where more stacked construction occurs. Compared to 't Wensink Noord or Lettersveld I, the price level in Bornsche Maten is clearly higher, which is linked to the newer build quality and larger plots.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is functional but not excessive. Within the neighbourhood itself, primary schools are present, and childcare is well represented, which fits the demographic composition: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and households with children form the largest category. For daily groceries and a wider range of shops, you rely on the centre of Borne, about a ten-minute bike ride away. Residents rate amenities a 6.0, the lowest sub-score, and that honest picture is accurate: if you are used to a supermarket around the corner, you have to make a bit more effort here.
