Nice and quiet
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone in the neighbourhood is fine, except for the neighbours who live two houses away. They have a taxi company (Taxi Laanstra) and keep buying more vehicles while they can only drive two at a time. They fill the entire neighbourhood with their taxi vehicles and we no longer have any space to park our cars. We would really like to see a change in this. We would also like to have more green spaces and/or activities for the neighbourhood. That way we can talk to everyone and meet each other. This is good for society and especially for the youth, because they can make new friends in the neighbourhood. So that the primary school children can also play with each other in the neighbourhood in the evenings.

Auto-translated to English by AII live in a nice apartment with friendly neighbours on the edge of a park in a village where all amenities are close by.
Auto-translated to English by AISuper nice neighbourhood with lots of friendly people and everyone knows each other, which is often nice. It's a shame there are no shops in the area; if there were shops it would be nice, but maybe also too busy, so I'm happy. There's a lot of nature and it's a beautiful neighbourhood. Education is good because there are maybe 1000 residents and 2 schools, quite a lot for such a small village. The village is also easily accessible for everyone.
Auto-translated to English by AII have lived there for 6 years now and it is wonderfully quiet and there is beautiful nature. Unfortunately, there is nothing else at all
Auto-translated to English by AIA beautiful village. But unfortunately poor facilities. Probably the only neighbourhood supermarket will also close. You need a car to do groceries. But the nature is beautiful! And what peace and quiet here!
