Beautiful neighbourhoods, very green and pleasant to live in!

I've been living in Winschoten-Noord for years and it's lovely here. There are many parks nearby for nice walks with the dog and the children. The amenities are also in good order: schools, supermarket and a good connection to both the centre and Blauwestad. A few more charging points could be installed, but we can't complain in this neighbourhood. I also always feel safe.

You are distinguished as an individual

A few bad apples are spoiling the atmosphere in the street. People don't want to take others into account. Vandalism of other people's property. Bullying and humiliation. Excessive behaviour.

Beautiful surroundings

The neighbourhood is located on the main road and within a short distance of all shops and opposite the beautiful forest! That makes up for a lot!

Pleasant and safe environment. Everything is easily accessible. Very cosy and everyone is super friendly

Super good safe community. Hygiene is taken seriously here and the municipality provides a lot of information. Education is good, many schools. Secondary and for children. More houses are being built all the time, but they do stay away from nature, so that's a given. Everything is also easily accessible and there are many supermarkets.

A safe and cosy neighbourhood

Very good. Never had any problems, lots of consideration for the children and enough schools in the area. All the important supermarkets that are easily accessible and a nice shopping centre. The houses are safe and more are being built all the time.

New village

Nice new village with both detached houses, semi-detached houses, terraced houses and apartments. Nice peninsulas. Living by the water. Lots of recreational opportunities. A supermarket is still missing. And a nice pub.
