It's a quiet neighbourhood. I live on the edge of Driebergen, on a street with almost only farms, and it's very quiet. Furthermore, the neighbourhood is not involved with each other and there is hardly any contact with the neighbours or the neighbourhood. I've been living here for 4 years now and I haven't managed to make any friends in Driebergen, which is a shame. Otherwise, it's clean and tidy, and there is never any rubbish or things on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII consider Driebergen a very safe and welcoming village. It is a good and quiet environment for young and old, there are no MBO options in Driebergen itself but you are quickly in Utrecht and beyond. There is a cosy village with a market, you really find the village customs in Driebergen. I have been living there for 6 years now, which is different from the average person but I certainly enjoy it. There are many parks and pieces of forest with a lot of history for everyone, so.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a fine neighbourhood, not always very sociable. Which I sometimes find a pity. But it's a beautiful area and the village is quick and easy to reach as long as you're on a bike. In Driebergen itself there isn't much to do, so if you really want to do something you have to go to Zeist or Utrecht.
