Esse Hoog: a quiet, family-oriented neighbourhood

Esse Hoog is a residential area where most homes are owner-occupied and families with children make up a large share of the population. The streets are calm, and the atmosphere is neighbourly. One resident describes it as 'a bit remote but cosy neighbourhood', adding that 'very nice people, very helpful and often throw parties'. The only drawback mentioned is the distance to public transport: a 20-minute walk to the train station and a 50-minute walk to the metro. That said, the neighbourhood itself has a park just a five-minute walk away, and a GP within 1.2 km. For a closer look at the area, see the Esse Hoog neighbourhood.

For secondary education, Comenius College Nieuwerkerk is also within a ten-minute walk. The train station is a 20-minute walk, which residents note as a bit far, but the park is a pleasant spot for a stroll. The municipality of the municipality of Zuidplas oversees the area.
