Terraced houses are also found, but the streetscape is defined by the more spacious, family-oriented buildings.

The population composition confirms this picture. With 1,015 residents, Kloosterstede is a relatively small neighbourhood.

On the neighbourhood page of Kloosterstede, you can read resident experiences, including a comment from a resident: "It's quiet here without being boring. The children play outside, the neighbours know each other, and you're in the city in no time if you want."

Who is a home in Kloosterstede a good choice for?
