Quiet but still very busy.

Since Action came here, it hasn't become any nicer. Sometimes you can't park your car near your own apartment. And the street lighting still hasn't been repaired, for 4 years now. I have more negative points but I'll leave it at that! If I get the chance, I won't stay here!!!

Quiet, tidy and safe

My experience with this neighbourhood is very good. I live here nice and quietly, and there is no nuisance. Furthermore, I am quickly in the centre of Ommen, which is also a big advantage.

Quiet green neighbourhood with a nice sense of community

It's a pleasant neighbourhood to live in, with lots of greenery and happy residents. With a bike you can get everywhere and you won't miss a thing. It feels safe, it's clean, and there's always something to do. And you're at the train station within 10 minutes.
