I think it's a very nice neighbourhood, because there are many things to do nearby, like going to parks and walking paths. I've seen many nice and different houses in this neighbourhood, for example at friends' places, and it's nice that not every house is the same. It is difficult to buy a house in this area due to the costs, but overall it is a safe and cosy place to live near Utrecht Central.
