Tarwewijk
Tarwewijk is a diverse, improving neighbourhood with a mix of cultures and ages. One resident says: "The neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets." Another notes: "Good, quiet, but the municipality could pay a bit more attention, like containers with an awful lot of mess." The area is densely populated, with many young adults and families. The neighbourhood Tarwewijk has a strong urban feel, with over 5,900 addresses per km².
