Borgerstraat 123, Amsterdam
Good · 2 residents
I've lived here for over 40 years, my children grew up here, and I've seen the neighbourhood change, for better and for worse. In terms of safety, I gave it a passing grade, although there could be a bit more lighting here and there; some streets are very dark. As for hygiene, I put it down to the residents; if everyone disposes of their rubbish properly, it's fine, but that's not always the case. Then housing: our young people have difficulty finding a home because certain population groups get priority. Accessibility is good for me, but I can imagine that if you're older and they just remove stops, you have trouble getting to your destination. Education is fine, plenty of schools in the area. Also plenty of supermarkets nearby.
