A good home in a pleasant environment.

It is a pleasant neighbourhood with affordable homes. The price/quality ratio is good. However, there is some litter, especially around the waste containers. The neighbourhood is close to a beautiful lake where it's nice to spend time and a 10-minute walk from the city centre. It's nice living here! It is a green neighbourhood, surrounded by trees and shrubs. There are three excellent schools a 2-minute walk away. A shopping centre with a bakery, chemist and supermarket is a 7-minute walk away.

It's fine living here, but there are some shady characters in the neighbourhood. I've been followed a few times myself.

A safe, friendly and accessible living environment!

Living in Drielanden on Mozartdreef is very pleasant. From our house, both the city centre of Harderwijk and the village centre of Ermelo are easily accessible. Drielanden also has a shopping centre for groceries close to our house, and it is a safe neighbourhood with many facilities for children and animals, among others. We have never had any problems with neighbours either. So all in all, a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in.
