It's the first time I live in the city, so it took some getting used to, but the neighbourhood immediately feels like coming home. It's very quiet, yet there's always something going on. Everything you need is within walking distance, so you never have to stress if you need something. A nice little park right on your doorstep, where you can sit comfortably and enjoyably (especially in summer).

Auto-translated to English by AIIt was a very social neighbourhood. People looked out for and helped each other. That hasn't completely disappeared, but due to many new residents who prefer to keep to themselves, the sense of community is diminishing. However, we do have a neighbourhood association including a building with many connecting activities for everyone. A beautiful pond with a playground that are well maintained and heavily used. People here generally have a green heart, so you won't find any tiled paradises like in Vinkhuizen, allowing animals such as hedgehogs, birds, and insects to live here too. Orange neighbourhood is my neighbourhood!!!
Auto-translated to English by AILived there my whole life with great pleasure. Always cosy, nice neighbours. Park around the corner. Great!

Ik woon hier nu, met ups en downs qua lawaai/herrie, nu 12,5 jaar. Altijd gekozen om hier toch te blijven, gezien de fijne buren en nette straat, met de mooie Hamburgervijver om de hoek waar ik graag eens zit te relaxen. Alle voorzieningen vlakbij en bushalte aan de kade, ideaal als je vaak en graag reist :). Ik voel me hier onderhand erg veilig, in al die tijd alleen eens een brand geweest maar verder kun je hier rustig je leventje leven, veelal hoog opgeleide buren, wat prettig is in het contact. Ik ben blij dat ik hier nog steeds woon.
