Accessibility is one of the strongest points. Goes station is centrally located and offers direct trains to Middelburg, Vlissingen and Bergen op Zoom, from where you can transfer towards Breda and the Randstad. The A58 is reachable within five minutes, which suits commuters to Zeelandic Flanders or West Brabant. However, note: residents in the north-western part notice increasing noise pollution from the A256, especially due to growing freight traffic and tourist routes.

Social cohesion is good: several residents mention that neighbours help each other with chores and that there is a pleasant balance between privacy and involvement. The beauty score (7.9) is the lowest rating, indicating that some spots in the neighbourhood look a bit less well-maintained.

We've been living here for 15 years with pleasure. Green and quiet. Lots of nature. Good social control, not always in each other's homes, but always helpful. One point of attention: the A256 motorway is causing increasing noise pollution. More and more (freight) traffic, (tourist) route from the Westerscheldetunnel, increasingly heavier cars (battery packs) and outdated joints in the viaduct.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are high-rise buildings, rental and owner-occupied homes, lots of greenery, a deer park, schools. Residents are mixed in terms of age and nationality. Generally a clean, quiet neighbourhood. In some places less so. People are friendly, tidy and interested in each other. A good neighbourhood to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AIthe neighbourhood is fairly quiet, Hertekamp within walking distance, forest within walking distance, schools nearby, rental and owner-occupied homes, apartments and low-rise buildings. playground etc, lots of variety in people in terms of old and young,
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood with very nice people, lots of green, parks and playgrounds, plenty of parking, many children in the neighbourhood. There are also shops within walking distance, which is nice. And we as neighbours help each other with all sorts of chores, which is nice when you can help someone. So I think my living environment is great. In my street you are allowed to drive, but only to load and unload, so it is safer for the children and the neighbourhood. The street is also kept clean by the residents; we also trim hedges that are too high and overhang onto the street. So it's nice to live here. The houses are well insulated, just great. Schools are good and safely accessible.
