Living here is fantastic. Beautiful, spacious and affordable apartment with 90m2 floor area. Indoor route to the supermarket. GP and the usual shops like Etos, Kruidvat, Bruna, Hema on the nearby square. Bus lines and main roads within 5 minutes. Also enough schools at every level. In short, 'a place to be'." Another resident notes the park and its maintenance: "Cosy flat with many elderly residents. A nice dog walking area that I look out onto. Also a beautiful park.
