Klaaswaal Woonkern

Safe, but not spacious
Klaaswaal Woonkern reaches an overall score of 9.4 with a quiet & nature figure of 4.7 underneath it, and that combination is unusual enough to explain. Noise levels here are below the national middle and the share of greenery within three hundred metres is just above it. What depresses the pillar is the tree canopy: it covers less than half the national norm. Open, then, but not sheltered.
Safety and families both carry the total. All four offence types are below the national median, with property crime at roughly a quarter of it. The primary school stands three hundred metres away, and because school and childcare distance together make up almost two thirds of the families pillar, it comes out at 9.5.
Anyone living here without a car notices one thing: the nearest station is more than fifteen kilometres off, while every everyday amenity is within walking distance.
