Many unfriendly, gloomy elderly people who call the shots
Auto-translated to English by AIGenerally good contact.
Auto-translated to English by AILittle sociability!
Auto-translated to English by AIMany elderly people live here, and as a family with children, that can sometimes be lonely. However, there are all kinds of nice, friendly people in the neighborhood. People who live here don't do crazy things; it's just safe despite the lack of lampposts. Hygiene is also fine; few people throw trash on the street here, although that happens a lot on the Deventerweg.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, never any problems, people often help each other, there are quite a few playgrounds in the village, there are nice meadows and beautiful houses, it is clean and otherwise safe, except for the asylum centre further down which sometimes causes problems. All in all, a nice neighbourhood with almost never any problems.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a perfectly quiet neighbourhood to live in, just outside the city of Lochem but you're there in no time. Lots of farms but also plenty of peace and quiet. In summer, only the fertilisation of the land is a nuisance. Otherwise, a fine area to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood with nice people, the facilities that are there are all easily accessible.
Auto-translated to English by AII really enjoy living here in the municipality of Lochem. Eefde is beautiful. The nature is abundant and (often) it is just left to its own devices. There are about 2 or 3 secondary schools relatively nearby and several primary schools. The community sometimes leaves something to be desired. People live here quite isolated; I don't know the names of some of my neighbours, or they have moved without you really noticing. The roads around us are intense; there is a provincial road running right through where I live, but it is what it is. And because of that road, we at least have a bus connection. However, the bus is not accessible (in the disabled sense). As soon as you have trouble walking, you can only take the bus in one of the two directions. This means you can only go to Deventer and only return here from Zutphen. The other side is not paved and not even maintained. This means you have to walk through tall grass on uneven ground. Barely doable with a crutch, and completely not (as in, really just Not.) doable in a wheelchair.
