Living in De Pol, Veenendaal
De Pol is a quiet, residential neighbourhood in the northwest of Veenendaal. The atmosphere is subdued and down-to-earth: no busy shopping streets, no nightlife around the corner, but also little nuisance. The housing stock largely dates from the 1970s and 1980s, with a mix of terraced houses and detached homes on slightly larger plots. The streets are wide with space for greenery, although residents say maintenance often leaves something to be desired.
Resident Nikita writes: "It's a nice place to live, but the municipality does little maintenance. There is dog mess everywhere and the grass hasn't been mown for a very long time." That is a recurring point of criticism. The neighbourhood does not feel neglected, but the public space clearly needs more attention from the municipality. On the main neighbourhood page for De Pol you can read all reviews and neighbourhood data.
In terms of amenities, De Pol is sparse. There is a playground in the area, but for other daily amenities you have to look elsewhere. Resident Willem puts it succinctly: "There is only a playground in the neighbourhood, so nothing else to do." For groceries, you drive or cycle to the nearby De Batterijen shopping centre, one of the larger shopping centres in Veenendaal-Noord. Supermarkets, a pharmacy and various shops are within easy reach. Schools score notably well in resident reviews (8.5 out of 10), indicating that the educational offering in the immediate area is perceived as good. This makes the neighbourhood attractive for families with children.
Accessibility scores a 6.0 and that is noticeable. De Pol is not directly on a main road to the A12 or A15, but via the Parallelweg and Rondweg you can be on the motorway within a few minutes. Veenendaal has two train stations: Veenendaal-Centrum and Veenendaal-De Klomp. Both are accessible by bike from De Pol, although it takes about ten to fifteen minutes.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice place to live, but the municipality does little maintenance. There's dog poop everywhere and the grass hasn't been mowed for a very long time. This makes it harder to clean up dog poop, but also for (small) children to play.
