The Langestraat and the Marktplein form the backbone of the centre, with a mix of shops, eateries and historic buildings. It is not a quiet residential neighbourhood: during the day there is activity from shoppers and commuters, but as soon as you turn into a side street, you find quieter residential streets with mainly terraced houses and detached houses from the first half of the twentieth century. Characteristic brick architecture alternates with younger infill from the 1980s and 1990s.
