Living in De Lors, Barneveld

De Lors is a residential neighbourhood on the west side of Barneveld, with a character best described as quiet and predominantly residential. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its special architecture or a lively shopping street, but rather for the everyday, cosy atmosphere that many residents appreciate. The housing stock largely consists of ground-floor terraced houses and semi-detached homes, interspersed with some social housing. The latter is evident in the high proportion of housing association homes at 51%, giving the neighbourhood a mixed social composition.

The neighbourhood has over 2,300 residents, with families with children as the largest household group. This is noticeable in the neighbourhood itself: there are playgrounds, the streets are relatively quiet, and there is a certain sense of community. Wim van Koot, one of the residents who left a review on the neighbourhood page of De Lors, describes it simply but aptly: "Cosy neighbourhood." That sums it up well.
