Living in Oosterboer: quiet, green and well-served

Oosterboer is a residential neighbourhood where life goes at its own, peaceful pace. Residents give the neighbourhood an 8.0 on Oosterboer on Buurtje.nl, where you can also find all ratings per category. R. Maat describes it aptly: "A quiet neighbourhood where not much happens. Everyone has and does their own thing." That is not criticism, but rather an honest sketch of the atmosphere. Social cohesion scores a 7, but safety scores an 8 and amenities even a 9. That says a lot about the living comfort in practice.

That high amenity score is justified. Within the neighbourhood and directly on its edge, you will find several primary schools, making it a good choice for families with children. Education scores a 9 among residents. Supermarkets, a GP and other daily amenities are within cycling distance, partly thanks to the proximity of Meppel city centre. Accessibility even scores a 9: Meppel has its own train station with connections to Zwolle and Groningen, and the A32 provides a quick link to the south. Residents do point out that the greenery in the neighbourhood could be better maintained, even though there is enough green space. That remark is honest and recognisable for those who know the neighbourhood.

Oosterboer consists of several sub-neighbourhoods, each with its own character. The Vogelbuurt and the Vlinderbuurt are quiet residential areas with mainly family homes.
