How residents experience their district
By lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.

Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is nice and social. Many beautiful inner gardens. Students, elderly people and families together. View of the Spaarne. Great that boat traffic is all year round. Good bus connections and within walking distance of the centre.

Auto-translated to English by AIDrug dealing, setting off fireworks, noisy parties, parking on the pavement, cargo bike terror, damp damage and a municipality that completely ignores its residents. You wouldn't expect it in the most expensive neighbourhood of Haarlem, but it's an everyday occurrence.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything close to a nice forest, not much hassle
Auto-translated to English by AII've had a good experience so far. There's also no education in this neighbourhood, which is a shame.

How residents experience their municipality
very nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..
