Living in De Dreven, Ede
De Dreven is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the west side of Ede, built in the 1970s and 1980s. The streets are neatly laid out, with terraced houses and semi-detached houses as the most common types. They are not spectacular architectural gems, but they are spacious, well-maintained homes with gardens that residents have arranged to their own taste over the years. The neighbourhood has a clear family character: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, but there are also many families with children, accounting for 355 households with children.
Those who live here particularly appreciate the combination of tranquillity and proximity. The Kernhem shopping centre is within cycling distance, as is the city centre of Ede with its shops and restaurants. Ede-Wageningen station is accessible by bike or a short bus ride, with direct connections to Arnhem and Utrecht. For motorists, the A12 is easily accessible via the Europaweg. Residents also mention the proximity of the Gelderse Vallei Hospital and the cinema as concrete advantages of the location.
Within walking distance there are several primary schools, and children do not have to travel far for secondary education either. There are playgrounds scattered throughout the neighbourhood, and on the edges of De Dreven the residential area connects to green strips and cycling routes towards the Veluwe. This makes it an attractive place for families and active residents.
Resident Neeltje describes it as a "child-friendly neighbourhood with greenery and play facilities, close to a shopping centre, the hospital, the cinema and the station." She honestly adds that there is occasionally loitering youth at playgrounds and noise from scooters on the through cycle path. Fellow resident Marijna says she likes the neighbourhood but misses trees on her street: "It's boring and grey" without more greenery at street level. This aligns with the resident score for greenery, which at 7.5 out of 10 is the lowest sub-score. Safety (9.0), accessibility (8.5) and community (8.5) score highly.

Who is a home in De Dreven suitable for?
De Dreven mainly attracts families and movers looking for space without the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

For seniors looking to downsize, the supply is limited, as buying an apartment in De Dreven is hardly an option; it is almost exclusively ground-floor homes. Be prepared for competition on popular properties. If buying is not the right step now, also check out the rental homes in De Dreven as an alternative.

It's a nice neighbourhood, plenty of choice in schools, you can walk to patches of nature, and enough playgrounds for the children. Also, all necessary amenities are nearby, which is great since I don't have a driver's license. I just miss trees on our street. It was quite dull and grey, and our houses get very hot in summer. Moreover, especially in Ede, preserving nature is a must. I also noticed that most streets here do have trees, except for the Edendreef.
