Living in Driebergen-Oost en Zuid, Utrechtse Heuvelrug
Those who live in Driebergen-Oost en Zuid live there deliberately. This is not a neighbourhood you end up in by accident. The lanes are wide, the gardens deep and the buildings varied: from stately villas from the early twentieth century to detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s. The southern part borders directly on forest area and the sandy paths of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, while the eastern part gradually transitions into the rural area towards Driebergerbroek. The combination of greenery, space and relative peace means that residents consciously choose to live here, and consciously stay.
Fien, a resident who grew up in the neighbourhood, describes it aptly: "Always cheerful and friendly people! There are good amenities in the area. The nature is beautiful and it is also reasonably safe. I have very fond childhood memories of this neighbourhood." That combination of community spirit and nature is reflected in the resident score of 7.6 out of 10. Greenery scores highest with an 8.3, followed by beauty with a striking 9.0. Safety scores slightly lower at 6.3, which keeps the neighbourhood honest.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is well integrated into the larger Driebergen.
