Rustige buurt

Rustige woonwijk en op loopafstand van de stad. Buurt bestaat uit van alles (gezinnen, stellen en alleenstaanden, af en toe een student of een expat). Dat gaat allemaal goed samen en brengt wel een gezellige sfeer. Parkeerplekken zijn er iets te weinig van maar dat lossen ze hier gewoon op door de stoep te gebruiken. Als niemand er last van heeft vinden ze het hier allemaal wel prima. Mooi wijkie.
