Living in Centrumschil-Noord, Zeist
Centrumschil-Noord lies precisely on the transition between the bustling heart of Zeist and the somewhat quieter residential areas surrounding it. The neighbourhood has a mixed character: you will find streets with detached and semi-detached houses from the 1950s and 1960s, interspersed with terraced houses and a number of apartment complexes added later. The buildings are predominantly low-rise, gardens are often spacious, and the trees along the streets give the neighbourhood a green and subdued appearance that you do not find in the centre itself.

The centre of Zeist, with Slotlaan as the shopping street, the weekly market and various catering establishments, is within cycling distance or even walking distance. For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Primary and secondary schools are nearby, making the neighbourhood attractive for families with children.
