Living in Koolhof: a familiar neighbourhood with a quiet character

Koolhof is a neighbourhood where you notice that people have lived there for years. Resident Remco describes it aptly: "the neighbourhood is a place where everyone knows each other." He adds that nothing has ever been stolen here, and that the neighbourhood is a great place to live, with residents from different cultures. That image is also reflected in the resident score on the Koolhof neighbourhood page, where the neighbourhood scores an average of 8.4 out of 10. Notably high are the scores for safety (10.0) and housing (10.0). Accessibility (9.0) and beauty (9.0) also score well. Amenities and community score slightly lower, at 7.0, indicating that the neighbourhood is not a bustling city centre, but does not try to be either.

In terms of amenities, Koolhof is reasonably self-sufficient for daily groceries. The centre of Deurne, with supermarkets, shops and eateries, is a short bike ride away. The same applies to schools: primary schools are present in and around the neighbourhood, and secondary school students can go to Deurne itself. Sports clubs in the municipality also serve the residents of Koolhof, with football, tennis and other sports within reach. Green space is present in the neighbourhood, although this aspect scores a 7.0, not exceptionally high. For extensive nature and walking areas, you can quickly head to the Peel, the peat area that directly borders the municipality. More information about the municipal amenities can be found on the website of Deurne municipality.
