This neighbourhood is a mix of all nationalities and very popular, and not to mention we live close to the Rotte
Auto-translated to English by AIWe've been living in this neighbourhood for 4 years now and it's fine, and people are there for each other with help when needed, people still greet each other here and everyone knows each other, only the hygiene could be better
Auto-translated to English by AIThe house is fine but people throw all sorts of things on the street, especially food, and I've been living in a construction pit for over 2 years.
Auto-translated to English by AII find the neighbourhood rather one-sided in terms of residents
Auto-translated to English by AIIn this neighbourhood you'll find cosy pubs, sports clubs, schools, an abundance of shops, a choice of almost every supermarket (except Jumbo). In the last few years, more and more students have come to live in and around the Zwart Janstraat (shopping street). That creates a lively atmosphere and occasionally some noise from parties, but I certainly don't mind it. It's a mix of various ethnicities, everyone is helpful and greets each other. A few years ago, the neighbourhood was really a mess, it seems to have improved a bit now, but you can't call it clean. The Zwart Janstraat was a Formula 1 circuit, but the municipality put a stop to that with extremely high thresholds and confusing one-way streets. Occasionally, some cars still race through the side streets with an enormous racket. I wouldn't let children play outside alone quickly, especially after dusk. There are sometimes unpredictable (sometimes addicted) individuals roaming around, especially past the Noordsingel around those small sports fields. My bike was stolen last year when I wasn't looking. Likewise, some other, more valuable belongings of residents. So watch your belongings. Crooswijk borders the Oude Noorden; this neighbourhood is often in the news in mid-2023 with bomb threats. I haven't seen or heard this kind of crime here, so I can't confirm that. All in all, a vibrant neighbourhood where you won't get bored with everything you need nearby. But with a slight ghetto feel (3 out of 10), that's how I would describe it to give you an idea ;).
Auto-translated to English by AIVery noisy on the street at night, but there are also many parties in the houses. There should be more police patrols.
