In terms of amenities, there is a supermarket within walking distance, and Snel en Polanen shopping centre is about fifteen minutes away. However, resident TP notes that good shopping facilities in the immediate vicinity are sometimes lacking, even though the neighbourhood is otherwise "spacious and green".
