Mix of villagers and residents from outside the village. Quite a young neighbourhood, but there are also some elderly people. Rental houses are reasonably priced, and owner-occupied homes are on the high side for starters these days.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice quiet neighbourhood, but it still doesn't lack any amenities. We have a small shopping centre where we can buy everything we need. It's also a beautiful area. So overall a very positive neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIYou have to be strong to live in Eck en Wiel in a rental home. The owner-occupied homes are okay. My experience is that it's better there. Of course, there's a village idiot like in every neighbourhood. In this case, there are several who keep their curtains closed and no longer open the door just like that. Young children cannot play outside alone. Everything is swept under the rug or dismissed. There are also fortunately many nice people. However, that doesn't change the fact that I have never experienced anything like this before. Terrible, just move somewhere else if you still have the choice. I enjoy walking the dog in the city more. There are no areas where the dog can run off-leash. There is a small playground for very young children. Furthermore, Eck en Wiel is not child-friendly. They can play on the pavement. The cars drive too fast. Nothing is done about it. There is also constant noise from music or dogs. Even at night.
