The De Burgen neighbourhood
De Burgen is a compact residential area built in the 1970s and 1980s, with a mix of low-rise flats and green courtyards. The neighbourhood has a strong urban feel (address density over 3000 addresses per km²) and a diverse population: many single-person households, a fair share of over-65s, and relatively few families with children. There are no neighbourhood reviews available, so the description is based on CBS figures.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy: the Jumbo is on your doorstep, and a Vomar, Dekamarkt and Albert Heijn are all within a ten-minute walk. For primary schools, De Molenwiek Dalton is a couple of streets away, and Pantarijn is just around the corner. The nearest park is a couple of streets away, and a restaurant is a five-minute walk. The train station is 4.1 km away, so you'll likely cycle or take a bus.

Experiences from Haarlem
How residents experience their municipality
very nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..

Auto-translated to English by AISad people have no life, they ruin others' lives
Auto-translated to English by AIBy lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that you see more and more rubbish lying around everywhere and more and more things are being demolished.
