Living in the centre is cosy during the day. In the evening, poorly lit streets and shady characters on the street. Lots of litter scattered along the Dommel where young people hang out, which attracts rats. Bins are full, they could be emptied more often, especially in the summer.
Auto-translated to English by AIOverall, I enjoy living here. The atmosphere is nice and the people are friendly; you feel a certain sense of community. It feels safe enough to take a walk in the evening, and the houses are well-maintained. However, I do notice that there is too little greenery — there are hardly any trees or parks in the area, which makes it a bit drab. I also miss some amenities like nice cafés, shops, or sports facilities; for that you quickly have to go to another neighbourhood. And public transport isn't great, so without a car it can be a hassle to get anywhere. Explanation of the satisfactory aspects (safety, community, hygiene, housing, education): The neighbourhood generally feels safe, residents keep a good eye out. People know each other a bit and say hello, which makes it pleasant. The streets are kept reasonably clean and rubbish is collected properly. The houses are in good condition, and there are plenty of schools in the area that do fine — not exceptional, but just okay. Explanation of the unsatisfactory aspects (greenery, amenities, accessibility): There is really too little greenery: hardly any trees, no playgrounds or small parks where you can relax. In terms of amenities, the offering is limited, especially if you're looking for something fun to do in the neighbourhood. And accessibility could be better: the bus doesn't run often and the station is far away, which makes it difficult if you don't have a car.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a quiet neighbourhood with plenty of greenery nearby, such as Molenwijk Park. Several supermarkets are easily accessible (5 minutes by bike) and there are 2 chip shops on the street. There is a mix of owner-occupied homes and social housing, which ensures a diverse group of people. It's actually always clean and I have never experienced any nuisance.
