The Brabantpark neighbourhood
Brabantpark has a strong sense of community, though it is evolving. One resident says: "Great!! Everyone knows each other. (except the Dutch residents who have recently moved in) If these people also make an effort to get to know the Moluccan residents, it will only get better. After the renovation, quite a few owner-occupied houses with Dutch residents have been added. If both parties make some effort to adapt, we will become a beautiful residential area." Another review is simply "Fine", while a third notes it is "Nice, but increasingly deteriorating neighbourhood." Based on three reviews, the average score is 6.88. The neighbourhood is home to many single-person households, and the population is relatively young, with a mix of ages. The Brabantpark neighbourhood has a lively, mixed character.
