I grew up here. This is a quiet neighbourhood except for the times when schools let out, as it's close to the Amersfoortse Berg and the school on the hill. But after those times, you can hear the birds chirping and nothing else at all. You also have practically everything your heart desires in the neighbourhood. This includes several primary schools within a 5-minute bike ride, several secondary schools within a 5-minute bike ride, a train station within a 5-minute bike ride, an Albert Heijn within a 3-minute bike ride, the city centre within a 5-minute bike ride, gyms within a 5-minute bike ride, several football and hockey clubs within a 10-minute bike ride, and you also have, for example, the zoo in Amersfoort, which is about a 10-minute bike ride. In the city centre, you can also go to a pub from the age of 16, but after you turn 18, the party in Amersfoort is pretty much over because there's no university and only limited HBO programmes.
