Based on three reviews, residents have mixed feelings. One resident says: "Have lived here for 34 years, happy to live here." Another notes: "I have lived here since 1997 and of course the neighbourhood is going downhill but as long as we feel safe we will stay living here." A third review mentions issues with litter and parking, but overall, many long-term residents feel safe. The area has a high proportion of single-person households and a relatively young population. For more details, see the Oud Mathenesse neighbourhood.
Daily errands are easy: a Dirk supermarket is just around the corner, and a Lidl is a couple of streets away. For fresh bread or a quick bite, several restaurants are on your doorstep.

Satisfactory · 7 residents
Lots of shards of glass lying on the street near a senior flat where many residents depend on a mobility scooter or wheelchair and are housebound if they get a flat tyre from riding over glass. Cars parked double, especially on Franselaan, or even crazier, parked diagonally on the pavement and cycle path to unload at a Polish supermarket. Speaking to the driver doesn't help because they only speak Polish, as it's a van or truck with Polish plates that keep doing this. Loose paving stones, especially on Franselaan; if you ride over them with a mobility scooter, you're terrified. Life-threatening situation in some places on that street, also for elderly people with limited mobility, because the tiles are simply not laid properly. The flat in the senior complex is excellent, certainly for someone with limited mobility who depends on aids.

Auto-translated to English by AII think there is potential in this neighbourhood, there is a warm community but hygiene and aesthetics are really not nice and it is no longer a neighbourhood to live in. I wish more value was placed on the aesthetics of the houses, streets, environment and surroundings.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived there since I was 20 and as a girl living in that place is not nice, I've had to call the police more often because men wanted sex and shouted sexual things
