Nice quiet residential area
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience is positive. It has a large forest where I enjoy walking my dog. In terms of amenities, it's also fine, but for certain errands you have to travel a bit further. As for public transport: there is improvement, as a neighbourhood bus does run, but the train in Raalte is very expensive and sometimes doesn't run... The train is operated by Blauwnet, so if I buy a youth day ticket, I also have to buy an extra Blauwnet ticket to travel; all in all, a day trip by train becomes very pricey.
