Resident Jennifer sums it up succinctly: "It's a nice neighbourhood to live in with plenty of amenities within walking distance." That's true. You have GPs, a pharmacy, sports park Ermelo and swimming pool De Zandheuvel all within reach. Yet it is not a perfect idyll. Jamie notes that the municipality hardly maintains the playground and that there are few play opportunities for children. And Ilias, who has lived here his whole life, is honest about the social dynamics: despite his family living in the neighbourhood for forty years, contact with most neighbours is limited. The community score of 7.3 confirms that picture. It is not a neighbourhood where everyone drops in on each other, but it is a place where it is quiet and safe (8.7 for safety). As Jeroen puts it: "Nice and quiet."
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores an 8.2. Ermelo station is within cycling distance and offers a direct Sprinter connection to Amersfoort (approx. 30 minutes) and Zwolle. By car, you are quickly in Amersfoort or Harderwijk via the A28. Bus lines towards Harderwijk and Putten stop at several points in the neighbourhood.

The neighbourhood is cosy. Everyone gets along with each other and knows each other. In the neighbourhood we have a cosy playground. Unfortunately, there are few play options for children.

Auto-translated to English by AIFine, decent people.
Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I've lived here my whole life, my parents have lived here for 40 years if I'm not mistaken. And we only have a really good connection with 2 neighbours, that's it, that's what I mean by not all fitting in the same boat. Although we are always friendly and hospitable, there is a lot of gossip behind your back. The neighbourhood itself is fine in terms of living conditions. It's cold, but well, we'll just have to deal with it. Everything is close to shops etc., so that's good. I grew up well here, so nothing to complain about. Hygiene could be a bit better because the streets don't look great, but that's up to the municipality. They could do something about the pavements because there's a lot of moss between them, which can cause bacteria, and that's not good for the air, and the roads aren't that great either. Safety here isn't good either; in the past, very little happened, but over the years, much more crime has emerged. I notice it, and so do the neighbourhood residents, and they think that because there's only a police station in Harderwijk, it takes far too long for them to come. As I said, shops are close by, plenty of supermarkets, so facilities are excellent. Accessibility is also nothing to complain about; it's fine, I don't know how to explain it. And education and green spaces are absolutely fine; we have about 7 primary schools in our village of 29,900 people, I think, and a good secondary school that provides good support and helps you on your way. We are known for green spaces; if you want to enjoy greenery and beautiful fresh nature, come to Ermelo, where you can walk your dog on the heath and then stroll through the lovely green forest with birds whistling to you. Please, this is my experience.

Auto-translated to English by AILittle happens in the neighbourhood, making it wonderfully safe. The residents are always there for each other. The municipality could sometimes act better and faster.
Auto-translated to English by AIOnce someone broke into our car late in the evening on our own driveway. That was a bit scary, but apart from that nothing ever happens. The neighbours are very friendly and always wave nicely when they pass your house. We also live next to the forest, so a walk is certainly not out of place.
