Overall, most people are quite nice and I'm glad I have somewhere to live, but there are a lot of antisocial and dirty people living here. People who pee in the lift, do balloons, put rubbish on the street, deal drugs, loiter in the hallway, etc. It would be nice if more enforcement was done on hygiene and behaviour. A homeless person slept under the fire escape for a few months, which didn't feel very nice. The police did come regularly, but little was done about it. Also, people with dogs never clean up their dog poop behind my house. Otherwise, the surroundings are beautiful. You can walk straight into Beatrix Park where many nice people walk their dogs. Facilities are fine, but for shops like Kruidvat, HEMA, Action, etc., you have to travel a bit further. As a starter, I think it's fine to live here now, but because of the neighbourhood, I do want to move away at some point. A shame because I love Lunetten and all the greenery it has to offer.
