Nice to live in

It is safe, clean, and there are enough nature amenities. In Mariaheide itself it's a 3.5, but Uden and Veghel have many amenities. The supermarket De Jumbo in Veghel is within 2 km. In Mariaheide it's poor, but outside (where you are within 5 minutes) it's good. Uden is very cosy to sit on a terrace. On average I give living in Mariaheide an 8.5!
