Bilgaard
Bilgaard is a mixed neighbourhood with a strong presence of families and older residents, and the reviews reflect that. One resident describes it as "child-rich, fairly many native Dutch," adding "each on their own." Another appreciates the practical side: "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 laments 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 three reviews, the overall score is 7.23 out of 10. The neighbourhood has a high share of single-person households, and a quarter of residents are 65 or older.
