There are too few facilities

I enjoy living here but there are no shops, you have to go to Bakel for the GP, pharmacy, groceries, Bakel or Deurne. Especially for the elderly among us, in the neighbourhood you say good day and that's it, basically everyone is for themselves.

Nice quiet neighbourhood with a wonderful park/orchard in the middle with playground equipment. The back side borders a nature area with beautiful walking paths, and the front side is actually right in the city centre. No traffic that doesn't need to be there!!! Children can play safely and friendly neighbours to have a chat with!

Great neighbourhood in and out of the centre

Nice neighbourhood with an annual neighbourhood day! Adjacent to a nature reserve where you can enjoy walking! Quiet neighbourhood! People keep an eye on each other's homes during holidays! Look after the plants in the garden! Everyone has time for a chat with each other! Beautiful park in the middle of the U-shaped district with playground equipment, a football pitch and benches for parents.

A small, calming neighbourhood

There is a lot of gossip, which usually happens in a village, sometimes things that aren't true. There are a few cafes but nothing is done for the youth, there is only one bus per hour and it's mostly always full in the mornings, there is also one neighbourhood bus to Gemert which is always late or doesn't come.
