What to consider when buying in De Maat
Pros:
- Train station on the Arnhem–Leeuwarden line: direct connections to Arnhem (35 min), Zutphen, and northbound cities.

- Countryside on the doorstep: Achterhoek farmland and forests within cycling distance; Slinge river nearby for walks.
- Lower entry price than Utrecht or Arnhem for a comparable house.
Cons:

- Car dependency for anything beyond groceries: restaurants, cinema, hospitals are 10–20 km away.
- Winter isolation: single train line; bad weather can make cycling miserable for months.
