The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 14 min walk · GP 24 min · hospital 4.3 km · library 2.2 km · 1 cinema within 5 km. None of these will decide a purchase on their own, but a GP taking new patients nearby is the kind of thing you only miss after moving.
Families and schools
For families: the nearest primary school is 10 minutes on foot; daycare is well covered (2 locations nearby) — though Dutch waiting lists mean you register the week you know you're expecting, not the week you need it; secondary school is a 9-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.
