Living in Midwolda: space, tranquillity and a close-knit community in the Oldambt
Midwolda is a village you won't quickly forget once you've been there. No busy shopping streets or high-rise buildings, but an open landscape with characteristic Groningen farmhouses, wide avenues and a village centre that still truly functions as a centre. Living in Midwolda means space: space around you, space in your home and space in your head. The residents on the district page of Midwolda give the village an impressive 9.5 out of 10. Notable are the perfect scores for safety, accessibility, green spaces, housing, education and amenities. One resident describes the village as a place where you still know each other, where children play safely outside and where the tranquillity is not boring but simply pleasant. The only category that scores slightly lower is community spirit (7.0), which may indicate that social cohesion takes a bit more time to build for newcomers.
In terms of amenities, Midwolda does well for a village of this size. There is a primary school in the village itself, and for secondary education pupils rely on Winschoten, about ten kilometres away.
