On the neighbourhood page of Buitengebied you will find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the silence and nature right on their doorstep. A common sentiment in the reviews is that you can truly relax here after a working day: no traffic noise, no hustle and bustle. One resident describes it as: "you drive onto the driveway and the world falls away from you."
