The asking price is 34% below the average asking price in Vestinggronden-Noord (€483,214) and is the cheapest of the seven homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, the floor area of 92 m² is 45% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 166 m², so the price per square metre is actually higher than average.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
I really enjoy living here, I've only been living here for a short while. But strangely enough, I don't really feel very safe or anything. Maybe because I've been living here for 3 weeks and my license plates were already stolen.. oh well. The accessibility is okay but there are a lot of one-way streets which is a bit annoying because you have to take a detour. You have to pay for parking almost everywhere, so that's a bit of a downside. On the other hand, there are many shops and facilities within easy reach. And there are nice parks and bits of nature. There are many different cultures in one city.

How residents experience their district
Very many so-called confused people in the neighbourhood under the influence of something. I think they should look at how to keep these kinds of people out of the neighbourhood as much as possible.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe trees on Rijtuigweg have been renewed and flower beds have been added. Also bicycle racks. There are primary and secondary schools in the neighbourhood. You can often experience activities in the centre. Children's games and Carnival, theatre and music. The CKB is nearby. Music, painting lessons.
Auto-translated to English by AII have lived here for 45 years now, truly a neighbourhood where social control is number one. People look out for each other, care for each other, have respect for each other. And very importantly, we take care of our elderly together so they can continue living in our neighbourhood for a long time. Together we make our neighbourhood as cosy as possible.

How residents experience their municipality
Because too many nationalities live together who don't want to adapt to the Dutch, it's a neighbourhood with many problems
Auto-translated to English by AIGood social people, always a chat if you live with dogs, very helpful if needed. The people are very approachable. Many dog lovers in the neighbourhood, met many nice people, you don't find this anymore in the big city. I'm very happy and grateful that we get to live here.
