The greenery stands out most: the sub-score for green space is 9.2, the highest of all categories. That is no coincidence. On the side of Himsterhout, the neighbourhood borders trees and green strips that give the streets a quiet and sheltered character. One resident describes it aptly: "Quiet, safe and green neighbourhood. The streets are peaceful and surrounded by trees and green strips. It feels like a place where you can live with peace of mind, where children can play safely outside and nature is always close by." Another resident emphasises the child-friendliness and the walking distance to amenities and nature.
In terms of amenities, De Trisken is reasonably self-sufficient for daily use. Primary schools are located in the neighbourhood or very nearby, which explains the high sub-score for education of 8.7. For supermarkets and shops, you rely on the centre of Drachten, which is a short bike ride away. De Trisken centre and De Trisken surroundings are close enough to the city centre to live well without a car. Sports clubs and recreational green areas are easily accessible from the neighbourhood.
Accessibility is the point where residents are more critical: the sub-score stands at 6.0. Drachten has no train station; the nearest stations are Heerenveen and Leeuwarden. By bus, there are connections to Leeuwarden and surrounding places, but anyone who commutes daily is almost certainly dependent on the car.

For those who do not mind that and value space, greenery and a quiet living environment, De Trisken is a good fit.

Auto-translated to English by AIUnsettling situations occur especially in the evenings. Lots of loud music, a lot of violence and mainly the people are not very friendly. There is also another side of the Trisken, (De Stal) where it is much quieter and safer.
