Our Neighbourhood

Nearest Airport: Groningen Airport Eelde - 50 km

Our neighbourhood Parc Sandur is child-friendly and quiet and contains several playgrounds, one of which is next to our house. Furthermore, there is a golf course and a recreational center, where you can rent bikes and boats, play minigolf or do some bowling. There also is a nice swimming pool. All this within a five minute walking distance.

The population of our neighbourhood consist of a mixture of elderly people and young families. There's light traffic, but otherwise it's a silent neighbourhood.

In our province, Drenthe, nature is never far away. You can go and easily cycle or hike into forests and moors, due to the proximity of these areas. Our neighbourhood is situated next to a recreational area called Rietplas. Various activities can be undertaken on foot, bike or on the water.

Also, the city of Emmen is very lively and has a big theatre, several good restaurants and a nice zoo called Wildlands.
