Certain people shouldn't be allowed to live here. I don't feel safe in this neighbourhood. The houses are a real disaster.. lots of mould and damp.

Very safe and friendly.

The neighbourhood is easily accessible via various main roads. Streets are cleaned regularly and there are enough public bins that are emptied. Well-accessible green waste disposal in the area. Several primary schools in the neighbourhood; secondary and higher education are easily accessible by public transport or roads. All amenities are present or easily reachable.

An incredibly pleasant living environment

I find this living environment incredibly pleasant. Diversity and safety are good, and the amenities are fine. I find the accessibility by public transport extremely poor. The bus runs infrequently and always at inconvenient times.

Reasonable price not too far from Amersfoort

There are plenty of shops for daily needs. For many things you still have to go into Amersfoort. There are no secondary schools in Leusden.
