Boring neighbourhood with many elderly people, but also cosy with everything you need nearby

It is a cosy neighbourhood in itself. There are many amenities such as nice playgrounds, football pitches, primary schools, shops and more. These places are always lively, but there are many elderly people who are good at complaining. There is no community centre or anything to bring people together, so you don't really have much interaction.

Quiet and pleasant living, in an oasis of peace yet central, close to amenities

Friendly neighbours, good contact without constantly knocking on doors. Close to shops, supermarkets, schools. Cycling distance to the station and to larger cities like Wageningen and Ede. Walking distance to beautiful forest!

Simple, but fine

It's sometimes quite boring, but there are many things like forests, playgrounds, a football field, etc. Nice people, but many elderly. It's safe and most people know each other. It's reasonably clean everywhere, there are many rubbish bins in the neighbourhood. There are 3 primary schools here, but no secondary schools or universities. It's easily accessible as it's close to a motorway.
