Heechterp is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a mix of old and new. Two residents have shared their experiences. One 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" and mentions noisy neighbours. The neighbourhood has a high population density, with many single-person households and a young demographic. It's a place where renewal is happening, but not without its challenges. For more on the area, see the Heechterp neighbourhood.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
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.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn a quiet neighbourhood where everyone knew each other, a family had just moved in. They had high expectations of their new area, but soon began to experience problems. The first night they were kept awake by noisy neighbours who partied until late at night. They thought it was a one-off incident, but it happened time and again. When they politely asked the neighbours to be a bit quieter, they were ignored.

How residents experience their municipality
You can sum it up as follows: > My experience with the Bloemenbuurt is very negative. In two consecutive situations, we had neighbours who caused a lot of nuisance. There were concerns about drug activities, the safety of children, and serious incidents in the neighbourhood, including a car explosion. As a result, I don't feel safe here and I wouldn't choose to live in this neighbourhood myself. The housing is reasonable, but in my opinion, the houses on Azaleastraat are in need of a thorough renovation. Additionally, there are few to no amenities in the immediate vicinity, which does not improve the liveability of the neighbourhood. Based on my personal experiences, I would therefore not recommend the Bloemenbuurt as a place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIAtmospheric neighbourhood with nice neighbours. Houses with a stately character interspersed with smaller workers' cottages. You can feel the history, you can walk straight into the city centre.
Auto-translated to English by AIAfter living in this neighbourhood for many years, a lot has changed in the meantime; many neighbours cause division among the residents, and they just do whatever they can't help doing. It must be the times, but it used to be nice living here.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe have lived in Weidum since 1972. A bullseye, we can say. Our neighbourhood, Sânpaad, is fantastic. Young and old join in when something is organised. Many of our own young people stay living here. An enormous amount is organised, namely: kaatsen, cards, billiards (4 tables), folk dancing, badminton, fair, Christmas ball, 55+ party, etc. etc. It is a great pity that no building is allowed. We hope to be able to stay here for years to come. Weidum "boppe".

Auto-translated to English by AIWe have little contact with the neighbours and other residents. Sometimes you do see things that don't belong in the neighbourhood.
