It's a nice neighbourhood, plenty of choice in schools, you can walk to patches of nature, and enough playgrounds for the children. Also, all necessary amenities are nearby, which is great since I don't have a driver's license. I just miss trees on our street. It was quite dull and grey, and our houses get very hot in summer. Moreover, especially in Ede, preserving nature is a must. I also noticed that most streets here do have trees, except for the Edendreef.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience with the neighbourhood is pleasant. I live in a building with young people (supervised) in an ordinary terraced house. Sometimes people experience some nuisance from parties and music, but that is handled well.
