Living in Roeleneng, Barneveld

Roeleneng is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the edge of the village of Voorthuizen, in the rural part of the municipality of Barneveld. The neighbourhood has a distinct residential character: little traffic, plenty of greenery between the homes, and a predominantly older population. With 125 residents aged 65 or over as the largest age group, and many two-person households without children, Roeleneng exudes a calm, subdued atmosphere. That does not mean it is a boring neighbourhood, but you will not find busy playgrounds or schoolyards around the corner.

The homes in Roeleneng are predominantly spacious and detached or semi-detached, fitting the high average area of 136 m². The construction period varies, but a large proportion of the homes date from the 1970s and 1980s, with some newer buildings here and there. The streets are wide, with many front gardens and generally sufficient parking on private property or along the road.

For daily shopping, you rely on the centre of Voorthuizen, a short bike ride away. There you will find a supermarket, a number of specialist shops, and primary schools for families with children.
