Verspreide huizen Geesteren
1,790 residents · postal code 7678 · Part of Geesteren, Tubbergen
Safe, but everything is a drive away
Barely sixty residents per square kilometre, more than seventy per cent greenery within three hundred metres and noise exposure ten decibels below the national median: Verspreide huizen Geesteren earns a 9.2 for quiet & nature on that basis.
One figure does not fit that prosperous rural picture. Vacancy is more than double the national middle, while property values come in above the median. Expensive buildings standing empty is a combination you rarely see in a village core.
The families pillar gets no further than a 4.7, and the distance to the primary school of more than two kilometres is the heaviest component in it. For families with young children that means a drive every school day, even though nearly half of households here have children.
