Bosrijk

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!

Driebergen: Safe, green, but less for young people

Driebergen is a nice and quiet neighbourhood where I usually feel at ease. It is a safe place with lots of greenery and nature to enjoy, which creates a relaxed atmosphere. The amenities are reasonably good, but there isn't much to do for children and young people, which can sometimes be a drawback. The neighbourhood looks neat and well-maintained, and most things are easily accessible; you're also close to Utrecht, which is very convenient. As for the community: there is a sense of cohesion, but it's not very close-knit; people mostly live their own lives. Recently there was a Christmas market, which I really enjoyed! Overall, it's a good place to live, especially if you like peace and nature.

A good neighbourhood

- Plus point is that there are many shops and eateries - Downside is that the infrastructure is not very well organised
