Heechterp: a neighbourhood in flux
Heechterp is a lively, densely populated area with a mix of old and new. Based on two reviews, residents have mixed feelings. One resident says: "Many developments in the neighbourhood with new construction and renovations. As for safety, it's very fluctuating here, with the occasional stabbing/shooting. Very often rubbish is just thrown next to the container since you now pay per lid operation, but before that it was just as bad." Another describes it as "generally boring," recounting noise issues from neighbours. The area has a high proportion of single-person households, and the urban feel is strong.
