She misses greenery and benches on the street, but feels safe and has good contact with her neighbours. "We do look out for each other," she writes. Ilonka is more enthusiastic and gives an 8.9: "A cosy, peaceful neighbourhood with nice people and many amenities. Playgrounds for children and community centres for the elderly. Something for everyone." Those two experiences together give an honest picture: Burgum is not spectacular, but it works. The amenities are in order. There is a spacious shopping centre with supermarkets, a library, pharmacies and various shops for daily groceries. For education, there are primary schools and a secondary school in the village itself. In terms of sports, Burgum offers football, tennis and swimming facilities, and the surrounding landscape of the Frisian Woods invites cycling and walking.

The largest age group is 65-plus, which gives the village a quiet character. Starters can enter here, although the market requires realism: the average transaction price is above four hundred thousand euros.

Many social housing units and many single residents. Little greenery. Few children in the neighbourhood. I think the oldest neighbourhood in Burgum. Contact with my neighbours is good. We don't visit each other's homes. We do look out for each other. And I feel safe here. There are no benches or anything in the neighbourhood.
