They appreciate the nearby nature and the fact that there are no large apartment blocks, with all houses matching well. A downside mentioned is a recent spate of (attempted) burglaries, and the high house prices making it tough for starters.

For your morning bread, Jumbo and Lidl are both about a ten-minute walk away. The nearest primary school, Christelijke basisschool De Triangel Houten, is just around the corner, and KBS 't Schoolhuys is a five-minute walk. A child daycare centre is on your doorstep. The municipality Houten offers plenty of green space, with a park or public garden just around the corner.

It's a nice neighbourhood. You're in the centre of Houten in no time, but you can also easily get to Utrecht, Den Bosch, etc. by train and car. Furthermore, there is a lot of nature nearby and around the house, which I really appreciate. There are also many schools in Houten or near Houten. Another advantage is that there are no large apartment blocks and all the houses match each other well. A downside is that in general there have been many (attempted) burglaries in Houten lately. Moreover, houses in Houten are extremely expensive, making it impossible for starters to afford a house or apartment here.
