Open surroundings

Very open surroundings with lots of greenery and water features. Large development plan for the whole Othene area with many variations in architectural styles. Easily accessible via Laan van Othene. A bit more activity in the neighbourhood wouldn't hurt. Quiet neighbourhood with roads leading out to the polder and walking paths also along the river De Schelde.

Lively neighbourhood

Still a fairly young neighbourhood where various houses are still being built. Very young neighbourhood with lots of children. Facilities could be better. Enjoy living here.
