Living in Ten Boer and surrounding area: green and quiet, but honest about the limitations

The open polders, dykes and the Damsterdiep give the area a distinct agricultural character that you won't find in the city.
On the neighbourhood page of Ten Boer and surrounding area, residents give the area an average score of 3.1 out of 10, based on one review. That is low, and the sub-scores tell a clear story: green scores an 8, accessibility a 6, but safety, housing, education and amenities all score a 1. The reviewer is not very lenient about the level of amenities: in Ten Boer Dorp there is a primary school and a small supermarket, but for more extensive shopping, secondary education or a GP you quickly have to drive to Groningen. For sports, local clubs are active, but the offering is limited compared to urban neighbourhoods. Those used to the amenities of, for example, the Oosterparkwijk or the Centrum will notice the difference immediately.
