How residents experience their neighbourhood
A few years ago there was a stabbing in my street, which did leave an impression. Fortunately, all the neighbours are very friendly and you never have any trouble with them. I also think the education in the neighbourhood is quite poor, but there are a few very good schools that are not much further than the schools in this neighbourhood. Furthermore, there are many trees in the neighbourhood, which makes everything a bit cosier and is also more pleasant for the eye. A 200-metre walk brings you to a small shopping centre with everything you need: a pharmacy, a supermarket, a chemist, a baker, a butcher, a post office and a few more cosy little shops for products you don't easily find in the supermarket. In short: an ideal neighbourhood.

How residents experience their district
It's a neighbourhood where many diverse people live, often it's very cosy but there can also be a lot of hassle among each other at certain times. A bit more consideration could be given to plants and flowers and grass fields.

Auto-translated to English by AIA lot has been renovated and it's now an excellent neighbourhood, although there is little police presence so there are dealers regularly, but they don't necessarily cause trouble. Poor contact with the neighbours, but they all seem like sourpusses to me so I don't know if that's a minus or a plus. There is a lot of greenery in the neighbourhood and the canal is nearby. The city centre is about 100 metres away and there are some shops in the neighbourhood itself. Accessibility and traffic safety are fine in most respects, but the schools in the area are all Christian, so for a public school I had to cycle a bit further.

How residents experience their municipality
I was born and raised in marsdijk assen. I have lived in this nice neighbourhood for 14 years, which is also because I am 14 years old. I enjoy living here. I generally feel quite safe, except when you go to the anne frank park after 8pm. the atmosphere there is usually grim. it is a very cosy neighbourhood, I definitely recommend people to live here. especially if they have a pretty daughter my age.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is cosy but can be noisy in the evening in the adjacent park, but overall it's always fine and not much else happens in the area.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere's nothing in this neighbourhood. Everything is gone. Have to go to other districts for activities, etc. I drive an electric wheelchair myself and that makes it even more difficult.
Auto-translated to English by AIFriendly people but everyone keeps to themselves
Auto-translated to English by AIReasonably neat, but more green maintenance by residents themselves, more control over housing construction. Shops, schools, playgrounds sufficient.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood. Never any crazy stuff, just quiet.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a pretty decent neighbourhood, sometimes there are fireworks or other loud noises, and you often hear the police and ambulance driving by. But otherwise it's a fairly quiet neighbourhood and I'm glad I live here, I can easily get to other places from here. Like Groningen or Zwolle. Which is very handy.
