Primary education is within easy reach in the immediate vicinity of Steenwijk. Secondary schools are located in the city centre.

Residents most appreciate the peace and space. On the neighbourhood page of Nieuwe gagels you can read what residents specifically mention: one reviewer writes: "It's wonderfully quiet here, you know your neighbours and the streets are safe for children to play outside." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited walking distance to amenities and the lack of a local shop.
