Den Ham: one big family in a self-sufficient village

On Buurtje.nl, Den Ham scores a 9.0 out of 10, based on resident reviews. Demi van Haarst describes it aptly: "Everything is easily accessible, everything you need is nearby and everyone knows each other. It's one big family that helps each other when needed."

In terms of amenities, Den Ham is well-equipped for a village of nearly 6,000 residents. In the centre you will find a supermarket, a GP practice, a pharmacy and various small shops for daily groceries. There are several primary schools in the village, and for secondary education pupils rely on surrounding towns such as Hardenberg or Almelo. There is plenty to do sport-wise: Den Ham has a football club, tennis court and various other sports clubs that keep village life active. The surroundings are green and open, with cycling and walking paths through the Twente landscape. The scores for green space (9.0) and beauty (10.0 in resident reviews) underline that. The hamlets around the village, such as Buurtschap Linde and Buurtschap Meer, offer even more space for those who really want to live outside the centre.
