Living in De Meede, Drimmelen
De Meede is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the edge of Made, the largest village in the municipality of Drimmelen. The neighbourhood has a distinct character: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, and a predominance of 1970s and 1980s buildings with detached houses and semi-detached houses on spacious plots. There are also newer infills, but the tone is set by that spacious, slightly older housing structure that appeals to many buyers.
In terms of amenities, De Meede benefits greatly from its proximity to the centre of Made, within cycling distance. There you will find an Albert Heijn, an Aldi and various specialist shops, a pharmacy, GP practices and primary schools. Sports club VV Made and tennis club LTC Made are in the immediate vicinity, as are several playgrounds and green strips that give the neighbourhood a village-green character. For more extensive shopping or hospital care, residents drive to Breda, about 20 minutes by car.
Accessibility by car is good: via the N285 you quickly reach the A59 towards Breda and Den Bosch. A car is virtually indispensable in De Meede, as public transport is limited. Bus line 132 connects Made with Breda, but the frequency is low and travel times are long. Cycling to the centre of Made takes five minutes, which works fine for daily shopping.
The population composition says a lot about the character of the neighbourhood. The largest age group is 65-plus (490 of the 1,575 residents), followed by 45-65 year olds. You notice this in the atmosphere: it is quiet, the streets are orderly, and there is little nuisance. Families are also present, but De Meede is not a typical young family neighbourhood. Almost half of the households are married, and most households are without children. This fits a neighbourhood where movers and seniors set the tone.
Residents appreciate the peace and space. On the neighbourhood main page of De Meede you will find all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "It is wonderfully quiet here, you know your neighbours and the streets are clean. You do have to drive to the city, but we accept that." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited public transport and the fact that young starters find their way to De Meede less quickly due to the higher prices.
Comparing De Meede with other neighbourhoods in Made, you notice that Middelmade is more compact and more village-like in nature, while Zilverberg has a slightly younger housing stock. Hondenhei is greener and more rural. De Meede sits in between: village-like but not remote, spacious but not isolated. Read more about the entire district on the page about Made.
For whom is a home in De Meede the right choice?
De Meede best suits movers and seniors who are looking for space, peace and greenery without being far from amenities. The average purchase price of over €561,000 makes the neighbourhood difficult to reach for starters, although homes from €365,000 can be found at the lower end of the market. Keep in mind that supply is limited: only 17 homes were sold in the past year, meaning you need to act quickly when something becomes available. Overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. If you are unsure whether buying is feasible at the moment, you can also look at rental homes in De Meede as a temporary alternative.
