Living in Middelmade, Drimmelen

Middelmade is a small, quiet residential neighbourhood on the edge of Made, wedged between polder landscape and the built-up area. Its character is village-like and green: wide streets, many detached houses and semi-detached homes on spacious plots, surrounded by meadows and ditches. The buildings mostly date from the 1970s and 1980s, supplemented by some new-build plots from the 1990s and later. You won't see any apartment blocks or dense city blocks here. The homes typically have a front and back garden, and parking on private property is more the rule than the exception.

Daily amenities are available in the nearby centre of Made, within cycling distance. There you will find a supermarket (including an Albert Heijn), a pharmacy, a GP practice and a number of shops for daily groceries. Primary schools in Made also serve the children from Middelmade; the neighbourhood itself does not have its own school building. For sports, Made has football club SV Made and various other clubs active. The countryside around Middelmade is suitable for walking and cycling along the Amer and the Biesbosch, which are a short distance away.

One resident writes: "It's wonderfully quiet here, you know your neighbours and the children play outside on the street. But you have to take the car for everything." That last point, the limited walking distance to amenities, often comes back as a point of criticism.
