Living in Vliegersveld, Barneveld

Vliegersveld is a quiet, predominantly green residential neighbourhood on the western side of Barneveld. The name refers to the historical connection with aviation in the region, and the neighbourhood has something of that no-nonsense character: no frills, but solid homes and a stable community. The housing stock consists mainly of larger family homes and detached houses, particularly from the 1980s and 1990s. Streets are wide, there is plenty of greenery in public spaces, and most homes have their own driveway or garage.

The neighbourhood mainly attracts families and people in the 45-plus age category. The largest group of residents is 65 years or older (415 out of 1,460 residents), which partly determines the character of the neighbourhood: it is quiet, little nuisance is reported, and social cohesion is reasonably strong. Almost half of the residents are married. This is also reflected in the street scenes: well-maintained front gardens, children playing outside in the quieter streets, and little traffic except during the morning and evening rush hours.

For daily groceries, you can go to the supermarkets in the nearby centre of Barneveld, within cycling distance of the neighbourhood. The centre of Barneveld also offers a wider range of shops, eateries and primary schools. Within the neighbourhood itself, amenities are limited, which some residents experience as a drawback.

There are also bus routes connecting the neighbourhood with the centre and surrounding villages. For daily commuters, the location is practical, although the car is the fastest means of transport in most cases.

One resident writes: "It is pleasantly quiet here, the neighbours know each other and there is plenty of greenery around you. Ideal if you are done with the hustle and bustle of a city."
