A rural neighbourhood in a small town with many elderly residents

Brouwershaven is located in a watery environment with beautiful nature. Unfortunately, social activities are mainly aimed at seniors, people with disabilities and tourists. Hobbies besides (water)sports, cycling or walking are difficult to develop due to the very limited presence of clubs and associations. Living in this natural environment essentially costs having social choices like those in the "inhabited world". Education is still sufficiently available for now, although public transport to it will become problematic in the coming years, according to reports. The area is relatively safe, although there are concerns about the arrival of an emergency shelter for asylum seekers in the immediate vicinity of secondary education.
