Peace and space

Quiet, friendly people, all amenities within 1 kilometre and nature around the corner. The bus to Utrecht, Wageningen or Veenendaal stops 4 times per hour 400 metres away. Great place to live.

Living in Driebergen Rijsenburg

It's a quiet neighbourhood. I live on the edge of Driebergen, on a street with almost only farms, and it's very quiet. Furthermore, the neighbourhood is not involved with each other and there is hardly any contact with the neighbours or the neighbourhood. I've been living here for 4 years now and I haven't managed to make any friends in Driebergen, which is a shame. Otherwise, it's clean and tidy, and there is never any rubbish or things on the street.

Blissful on a dead-end road ending at a forest with a pond, it's peaceful living. Except for the nocturnal adventurers who sit on the bench. What do they do? Unfortunately, they throw their scavenged wrappers on the ground while there's a bin within two steps. Otherwise, great place to live.

I grew up here as a child, Driebergen will always have a place in my heart. Because there were (then fewer) children, my sister and I always went out exploring and discovered the nicest things together. Since Driebergen is located in a wooded area, there is a lot to discover. The village festivals are also getting better and better! Last year there was a Christmas market and it felt so cosy and connected. We live close to everything, nice and close to shops, forest, Utrecht, it's just a shame that few activities are organised for children. Driebergen also has no secondary schools, but that's not a problem. In recent years I have come to appreciate Driebergen more! Like learning more about the history of the village and the architecture, for example. What I also find interesting is that they now organise all sorts of things on Liberation Day so we can learn more about Driebergen. A very nice neighbourhood! As a child I always felt safe, in recent years a bit less so, especially in the evenings, because of loitering youths. As I said before, Driebergen is very green, in most streets you see shrubs, trees, flowers, plants everywhere, especially now in spring it makes me very happy!

Beautiful place for a walk and to enjoy nature.

You can make it as long as you want. It's a large park with a beautiful lake and well-maintained. If you want to go for a walk, this is a top choice!

Friendly

Everyone here is so friendly and greets each other when you see each other walking or cycling. Other than that, there is plenty to see.
