Auto-translated to English by AIIt's close and just far enough from the centre that you're in a quiet, cosy neighbourhood, but you can easily find the bustling centre within 5 minutes. This will only get better when the new station is finished.
Auto-translated to English by AIStation nearby, pub/terrace nearby, supermarket within walking distance and city centre also 5 minutes by bike. But the street is busy with traffic. Other than that, there are many students/young professionals living here, so there's almost never any trouble with crime (once a man was in our garden stealing empty crates of beer), but there can be some noise nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood to live in! Within walking distance of the city and yet green spaces nearby. Pleasant to live in both as a student and as parents with young children!
Auto-translated to English by AIthis is a very nice neighbourhood to live in. everything is within walking distance and cafe de klikspaan in the middle of the neighbourhood is a nice meeting point. the plus is also a nice shop.

The energy label is C. That's a decent score, it means the home is reasonably efficient, though not top-tier. In the neighbourhood, 34.6% of homes have label C, and another 34.6% have label A, so this is a common rating for the area.
The Rivierenbuurt had 220 reported crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a neighbourhood of about 4,700 residents. One resident review mentions 'many drug users' and 'a lot of noise', while others find it quiet and cosy. It's a mixed picture.
The area is young and urban: nearly 60% of residents are between 15 and 45, and most households are single-person (73%). Only 7% of households have children, so it's not a family-heavy neighbourhood. Reviews describe it as 'cosy' but also note issues with noise and dog mess.
Residents say the centre is about a five-minute walk away. The train station is 1.1 km (a ten-minute walk), and there are restaurants just 200 m from the door. It's close enough for convenience but far enough for quiet.
The listing does not mention a garden or balcony. The plot size is not stated, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor space. The neighbourhood has a park 300 m away.
