Living in De Venen en Zanden, Ede

De Venen en Zanden is a quiet, green neighbourhood on the south side of the Kernhem district, on the transition between built-up Ede and the open landscape towards the Gelderse Vallei. The neighbourhood owes its name to the varied landscape: low peat-like areas and sandy soil alternate, which is also reflected in the planting and layout of public spaces. It is not a standard expansion neighbourhood: attention has been paid to greenery, water and spatial quality.
