Groede: a village where everyone knows each other
Groede is a small village with 625 residents, and the reviews reflect that intimacy. One resident says: "You come here for peace and quiet", noting that there are no buses or shops, that houses are mainly holiday homes, but that "everyone knows each other and it's clean with lots of culture, art, and it's a cosy little village." Another, who was born there and moved twice but stayed in the same village, calls it "quiet and nice and small," with the only shame being the few shops. Based on two reviews, the picture is of a close-knit, older community: 29% of residents are 65 or over, and 44% of households are single-person. The Groede neighbourhood is clearly a place where roots run deep.
