Bilgaard, a mixed, green neighbourhood
Bilgaard is a neighbourhood of contrasts: lots of flats, many for the elderly, but also a fair number of families. One resident describes it as "Child-rich, fairly many native Dutch" and adds "Each on their own." Another says: "Lots of houses and mostly flats for the elderly, there's a mall with some stores which is good but my favourite part is the woods which is great to take a nice stroll through on sunny days." A third resident notes: "I think it's a shame that people no longer help each other, they used to, but what can I do about it, I always help everyone and I will continue to do so." Based on six reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.23 out of 10. The area is densely built with 2,573 addresses per km², and it's home to many one-person households and a sizeable group of over-65s.
