You are not far from the motorway here. Zeeland, Rotterdam and Antwerp are quickly reachable. Filling up nearby is recommended. Across the border in Belgium, filling up is even cheaper. Joining the local history society or one of the many associations is recommended to get to know everyone. In summary. It's just a nice village for young and old, where life is still good.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood to live in. It's safe for children. Unfortunately, the atmosphere on my street has disappeared in recent years. This is because people have moved away. They have been replaced by less pleasant people who cause noise nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a fine neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIStanddaarbuiten is really a very nice village in my experience, there are many neighbourhood activities such as a village week, carnival, an annual cycling race, various genres of music events at De Standaardt and a polder challenge. People are generally friendly to each other and usually greet you, even if you don't know them. However, if you wear alternative clothes, clothes that are different from normal, or rainbow things (because rainbows are associated with the LGBT+ community), you can quickly be sworn at or even threatened and followed. This probably doesn't happen if you look older (20+), but as a 16-year-old girl it was quite scary to be followed by a group of youngsters. My little sister also gets bullied regularly since we moved. There is one school in the village, a small primary school with a library pickup point. There is also a Spar, a cafeteria, a hairdresser and a bus stop in the village. The buses run every half hour or every hour, which varies. They are mostly neighbourhood buses, which are often full in bad weather or during rush hour, so you can't really rely on public transport. If you don't have a driving licence, the village is somewhat accessible from other villages, but you'll probably need a bike or something in case you can't take the bus. The buses also stop quite early (after about 6 pm). There isn't much nature nearby; there is a small forest, but not much of it is left due to the amount that had to be cut down in recent years. There is a lot of litter on the streets, so hygiene is not great. This litter is mainly caused by youngsters, but also by adults during events. The municipality doesn't maintain the village very well either, which can sometimes be dangerous.
Auto-translated to English by AII gave hygiene a low score because after carnival, rubbish lies around for months. The same with New Year's Eve. I gave community a 10 because there are many village activities and it's very cosy. Safety is also low because not everything is well lit and many cars drive too fast at night. I've nearly had one of my dogs run over several times... For the size of the village, I think our facilities are good, but in general it's of course not the best. Green space got a 5 because the amount and type of waste left after carnival is not very environmentally friendly.
Auto-translated to English by AII grew up here and enjoy living here very much. Our neighbourhood is very child-friendly and cosy with the playground right on our doorstep. For a longer walk, you can take a stroll around the singel or the wallen. There aren't many shops, but that's not a problem for us.
