Characteristic farmhouses and spacious plots are not uncommon, which explains the high average sale price and large floor area.
In terms of amenities, Westmaas Woonkern is a small village: you will find primary schools, a community centre and local sports clubs, but for a supermarket or more extensive shops you have to rely on surrounding villages.

Our neighbourhood is incredibly cosy, in almost every street lives a familiar/nice person and there are always people you can have a chat with. There is hardly any theft and nothing serious happens. The nature is very nice, there is a small park and a beach so you can fully enjoy the neighbourhood. Hygiene is also very good, hardly any litter is found and if litter is found it is usually cleaned up immediately. Education is good, 2 primary schools in the village and several secondary schools within 10 km, but unfortunately no college/university. The only downside is the number of amenities. In summer you can enjoy the beach or the water, or play football in the park, but in winter there is basically nothing. You can play football and play on the school playgrounds and the ice rink, but that's about it. There are also playgrounds scattered around the neighbourhood, but they are not super special.
