Quiet and village-like environment, nice people and also helpful. There's just not much here in the village. The plus, chip shop, kapsalon, a couple of cafes, nothing more.

The municipality of Simpelveld always prioritises Simpelveld, despite Bocholtz being larger. Few to no new houses, 0 facilities apart from a neglected supermarket and some takeaway joints, greenery is poorly maintained and nothing is done about the decay of some neighbourhoods.
