Transvaalbuurt-West: a mixed bag of reviews

The neighbourhood Transvaalbuurt-West has a 6.88 out of 10 from three reviews. One resident says: "A wonderful neighbourhood to live in, I have lived here for 79 years and still enjoy it greatly."

Not a great neighbourhood

People are not okay, they talk too much about you with lies, attack you without reason and believe what other people say about you without asking what your story is.

A wonderful neighbourhood to live in

I have lived in the Transvaalbuurt for 79 years. Over those years I have seen many changes, but I still live there with great pleasure! And I will continue to do so until the very end! Transvaal is my life!
