Pleasant to live in itself. Only people maintain the gardens and some also the house poorly, a pity, people don't realise that one lives here freely, partly due to the large gardens. Generally little traffic, the centre is nearby, plenty of shops there. Great diversity. Market once a week, also very nice. I previously lived in Arnhem, a world of difference. People greet each other here and the atmosphere is friendly.
