The Cronestein neighbourhood
Cronestein is a varied neighbourhood, as one resident puts it: "My neighbourhood is very varied in housing. You can find social housing and owner-occupied homes here." The same resident notes that "in the middle of the neighbourhood there is an industrial estate," while "to the east, high-rise buildings with apartments and student flats" and "to the north-west, there are mainly terraced houses." The neighbourhood is "located on Lammeschansweg and almost directly on the motorway, so it is easily accessible," and there are "many amenities such as a Plus, Intersport, Gamma, etc." This is based on a single review, so it reflects one person's view. The population is young, with 55% aged 25 to 45, and most households are single people. The Cronestein neighbourhood has a lively, mixed character.
