It's safe enough, sometimes exciting but that's because of drunk people. Waste is separated and bins are cleaned regularly. Housing, there is plenty of space.

Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood to live in, close to the centre, the dike and the ferry to Texel. In the past, at the end of the street there was the very cosy nightlife area, which has moved to another location. Now it's much less cosy and there are far fewer pubs than before. In the part where I live, neighbours take in packages for each other. We also have nice neighbours with whom we get along well. When we go on holiday or away for the weekend, they look after our 3 cats, and vice versa. We help each other, and I think that's very important for a pleasant living environment.
Auto-translated to English by AIPretty good though sometimes there's not enough parking spots in this neighborhood due to it being in spots park and a school.
Auto-translated to English by AII moved here just over a year ago. At first I experienced it as a friendly working-class neighbourhood. But in the last six months we've been terrorised by dealers and junkies, firecracker bombs in the underground bins, firecracker bombs at doors in the middle of the night, firecracker bombs in the middle of the street in broad daylight, car break-ins, vandalism, you no longer feel safe on the street in the evening when it gets dark, children are not allowed to play outside by their parents because the junkies are hanging around everywhere, and it seems to us as a neighbourhood as if the municipality and police/enforcement are doing nothing about it. The only thing enforcement does here is write fines for illegally parked cars, and thus harass the hardworking citizen, instead of maintaining safety in this area.
Auto-translated to English by AII enjoy living here, cosy street, nice people, they are there for you when needed.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe prefer not to go out when it's dark. Double locks on all doors, including the shed and gate. We both come from a different province in the Netherlands.
Auto-translated to English by AII've only lived in this neighbourhood for a few months, and it's been nothing but pleasant. Little nuisance from neighbours. Some fireworks going off here and there, but where doesn't that happen.
Auto-translated to English by AIAfter a certain time in the evening, I no longer go outside alone. We even have double locks on the gate, shed and aviary. Hygiene: people throw paper etc. into the bushes, empty bottles and cans. Just an ASO neighbourhood. What could be better: fewer coloured people in the neighbourhood, also benefit claimants. Make it a neighbourhood where almost everyone is equal. And where everyone feels safe again to, for example, walk their dog around 10 p.m.
Auto-translated to English by AIMore empty properties, the neighbourhood is deteriorating due to many more foreigners in the area. I no longer go out on the street after 10pm. Double locks everywhere. More street lighting and more social housing.
