The Dorp neighbourhood
Dorp is a mixed neighbourhood, and the two resident reviews reflect that. One resident calls it "a mess," mentioning "unsafe, dogs barking all day." Another describes it as "Cosy and unpredictable," noting that "Every few months something violent happens again. A lot of drugs are used in the neighbourhood, especially by young people." Based on these two reviews, the picture is clearly divided. The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with a notable share of residents over 65, and many households with children. The Dorp neighbourhood has its own character, shaped by both its older residents and younger families.
Life on the street

For school runs, the Julianaschool Rijnsburg is a ten-minute walk, and the Teylingen College for secondary education is also within a ten-minute walk. The area is part of the municipality of Katwijk, which covers the wider surroundings.
