Nice neighbourhood

Great neighbourhood to live in. Very green. Close to forests. Quiet. And within five minutes in the city or Groesbeek.

Nice diverse neighbourhood

It's a cosy neighbourhood where many students live in rooms. There are good facilities because the university HAN and ROC have locations there. They also have several primary schools. Furthermore, there is a lot of greenery and I feel very safe there. There are several nursing homes for the elderly.
