Living in Ten Boer Dorp, Groningen
Ten Boer Dorp is a true village centre, about ten kilometres east of the city of Groningen. It has a recognisable Groningen character: ribbon development along the Hoofdstraat, a church that defines the skyline, and a village square where social life is concentrated. The buildings are a mix of older properties, 1970s terraced houses and newer expansions on the edges of the village. It is not a boring commuter town, but a village with its own community.
What stands out when you walk around is the peace and quiet. No through traffic dictating the day, but also no deserted streets. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, followed by those aged 65 and over, but families with children also live here: 725 households with children make up a substantial part of the population. You can see this in the primary schools in the village and the sports clubs, including football club VV Ten Boer, which has been an anchor point for the community for decades.
For daily groceries, there is a supermarket in the village itself, so you don't have to go to the city for every packet of butter. Further facilities, such as a wider range of shops, hospital care and higher education, can be found in Groningen city. The connection there is by bus via the Hoofdstraat, with lines towards the centre of Groningen. By car, you can drive via the N360 to the city centre or the main station in a quarter of an hour. Cyclists follow the provincial cycle route along the Eemskanaal, a popular route that is also easy to do in summer. More information about the municipality and accessibility can be found on the website of the municipality of Groningen.
Residents particularly appreciate the peace and social cohesion. One resident describes it as follows: "Ten Boer is small enough to know each other, but big enough not to be in each other's lives. You have everything you need, and the city is so close that you don't feel the lack." Recurring criticisms are the limited nightlife and the dependence on the car or bus for more specific needs.
