I'm busy sowing flower beds for even more wild flowers. It's not in the centre but for me it's fine by bike. I feel safe because I live alone on a gallery, you can't just walk in. There are no busy roads in the immediate vicinity. People know me (in my previous home I never spoke to or greeted anyone). There's no litter. It's a nice house, fairly new, nice interesting architecture. Facilities are easily accessible by bike, or for example with the elderly bus. I can still take the little dog out at night/dark if necessary. It's just that contact doesn't go much further than greetings and a short chat. I've never had to leave my keys inside, except once when I could call the neighbour. My friend had a spare. There's a lot of green... a pond, planting with reeds. Trees. Accessibility? When I cycle, I'm not directly on a busy road. It's really a residential area, meaning shops are not within walking distance. More like cycling distance. I've never heard of any break-ins or anything. People check on me... if I'm okay etc. I also get stuff from neighbours that I can either use or pass on to a give-away shop. Win-win. The communal hall is cleaned every week. When it snowed, someone cleared it. I maintain the flower beds, sow seeds etc. But someone else pruned the ivy from the flower bed by the front door, on their own voluntary initiative. Across the street there are occasional parties with young people, but I don't mind that / it's fun. Go for it. Different cultures live here but no one bites each other. In the hall, people put things they no longer want. You can take them. Recently someone got married, with a flower arch... I spontaneously took a photo. Also of a couple living there. Spontaneous. Nice. I can leave my bike outside. That's all I know. I only have one reason to leave: if I might start living together again.
Auto-translated to English by AIApart from the occasional unsafety in this little village, I couldn't have wished for a better place on earth to live. Villages are always so cosy, and this one is no exception. Everything is accessible and everyone is well provided for. Baarn is beautiful!
Auto-translated to English by AINot much happens in the neighbourhood, but it's always cosy. There's a supermarket and some small snack bars and bakeries. Everyone looks out for each other, without too many arguments or fights. There's police occasionally, it's clean. People can easily reach a school and it's just cosy :)

Community centre and associations also present. Supermarket within walking distance. Also a nice park that is closed at night. And yes also a cemetery and a funeral home in the neighbourhood. Medical centre also there with pharmacy, physio and dentist and GPs. Accessible for everyone. From young to old lives here. People know each other, or not, but that is usually what the person wants themselves. Parking is a bit of an issue, but there is usually a spot. Most houses were built just after the war. Grew quickly until 1980. After that time buildings were replaced or renovated. 3 emergency homes for refugees since this year. This neighbourhood is absolutely not boring or quiet... 24 hours there is movement... I wouldn't want to leave here soon. Public transport unfortunately gone, but maybe that will come back a bit. All in all you can be born here and die. Only downside is that there are hardly any things for young people aged 14 to 21. They then look further than the neighbourhood. But complain about this neighbourhood no I cannot do that. A few more bins and a better mentality in cleaning up could sometimes use a lesson here, but that is more for the municipality.... Also the preservation and protection of greenery could be better from the municipality.
