The Bedrijvengebied Oudenrijn neighbourhood
Residents of the district Vleuten-De Meern, where this neighbourhood sits, give their living environment an average score of 7.51, based on twelve reviews. One resident says: "I moved here shortly after this neighbourhood was built. Over the years it became more lively. Unfortunately, crime in the area has increased over time." Another notes: "There is a shopping centre, large park and swimming pool very close by. Furthermore, there isn't much conversation among the people living in this neighbourhood." A third resident adds: "Because of the many rental houses that have been built, the neighbours and residents change quite quickly, but the neighbourhood always remains quite cosy and friendly." The neighbourhood itself has 255 inhabitants, with 85% of the 111 homes being owner-occupied. These reviews describe the wider district, not this specific neighbourhood, so they should be read as a general impression of the area.
