Multicultural working-class neighbourhood, room for special people too :)

Still go to the neighbour across the street for an egg you're short of when cooking? A beer on the doorstep? A weekend camping together? Or a nice neighbourhood BBQ? It's all possible in our little village in the city centre!

Young and old come together without being in each other's pockets.

The neighbourhood is a lively and balanced mix of young and old, where different generations live together in a natural way. There is a convivial atmosphere in which people know and greet each other, without being intrusive. Social control is present, but not stifling—residents keep an eye on things and are ready to help each other when needed.

Neat and well-maintained neighbourhood

A neat and well-maintained neighbourhood where you are close to nature, but also to the centre of Oldenzaal. Plenty of amenities at the Thij shopping centre.
