The neighbourhood is close to the centre, so you're quickly at the market etc. It's a nice neighbourhood, but I do miss something for young people. There's nothing now where young people are allowed in or anything.
Auto-translated to English by AISafe neighbourhood. When necessary, we are there for each other. Unfortunately, we have no shops in our village. We live in peace and freedom. Unfortunately, people in equestrian sports have always been given an advantage when it comes to applying for permits for building and such, and they have always made it very difficult for (ordinary citizens), so I do feel discriminated against in this regard. My village and neighbourhood are beautiful and you can relax. I am a very happy person.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood. Everyone respects each other. We help each other where needed. We live opposite a nature reserve. And that is wonderful. Our children would love to live in the same village but the prices here are astronomically high. So they had to move to Belgium because first-time buyers have a better chance of a house there. We have animals all around us. We also enjoy a day in the city but are happy when we can return to the peace and quiet at the end of the day.
