It's a nice village to live in, but it's hard to get in with the people. I notice that when you receive benefits, you don't belong. Unfortunately. Furthermore, there are many shops and a nice football field here. For the peace and quiet, I want to stay here, especially because my youngest child already has all his friends here.

Rural living

The neighbourhood is not suitable for people with small children because people drive very fast and recklessly. Otherwise, the neighbourhood is fine if you like peace and quiet with a beautiful view over the fields.

Nice quiet neighbourhood

Neighbourhood is nice, but traffic drives way too fast here, so please a speed reducer. Preferably a 30 km/h zone here.
