What does West offer?
Borculo is a quiet Achterhoek village where you actually know your neighbours and they know you. Most homes here are from the 1930s through 1970s, typically detached or semi-detached with some land around them. You're not coming here for nightlife, but you are close to the Achterhoek's rolling countryside and cycling routes that connect you straight to Groenlo or Lochem. The village centre has what you need: a baker, supermarket, a few cafés where your face becomes familiar.
